Oh Jungleland

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Somebody's screaming out

Somebody's knocking out

Somebody's calling out, come hear it again

Street bells are ringing out

Young girls are singing out

Boys are building up to be men

You've got the love

Then here comes the blood last

The father, the mother, the sister, the chain

Sweet inspirations

Or a cold hearted nations baby

The young man, the brothers, the killers explain

Oh Jungleland

They call you home sweet home

You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone

But there is a kid called Hope

And he's holding out his hand

He sees the Northern Lights

above this highrise land

Oh Jungleland

Oh Jungleland

Oh Jungleland

In the city, get out the city pretty quick

I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you

It says, may little children forget the wild things

But no one listens cause nobody cares

When you've got the love drugs

And you've got the long nights

You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven

Here comes summer, here comes violence

Over your shoulder the soul boy explains

Oh Jungleland

They call you home sweet home

You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone

But there is a kid called Hope

And he's holding out his hand

He sees the Northern Lights

above the highrise land

But blood is thicker than water

But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands

Unto the Devil a daughter

When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it

Don't look back, never look back

Don't look back, never look back

Oh Jungleland
