Richard Barone Law of the Jungle Lyrics

I took a walk into the city
Not like the city I remember
The buildings danced a deadly tango
Aimed for my shadow with a switchblade

Now it's the law-
Now it's the law of the jungle.

These days the saints have left the city
They looked both ways and crossed the river
The eyes I meet are blank and dirty
The words I hear cut like a siren

Must be the law-
Must be the law of the jungle.
This is the law-
This is the law of the jungle.

This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Tonight the saints have fled the city
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Standing in line we look for signs
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
We wait for trains no longer running
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Clouds over Eden rolling on
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Lonely sidewalks leading nowhere
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Forbidden eyes, forbidden thoughts
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Another Orpheus descending
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
Where angels die before their time
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
I've seen a writing on the wall
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
I've seen a writing on the wall...
This is the law-This is the law of the jungle
