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 its the law Now its 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
