Law of the Jungle
(Barone)

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