Oh Jungleland

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 Words And Music : Simple Minds (C) EMI Music (Publ) Ltd Reproduced without permission
