JUNGLE OUT THERE

Absolutely nothin’ money can’t buy
From the day that you’re born till the day that you die
You’re trapped in a cage, lookin’ up at the stars
Like a dog by the highway looks at the cars
It’s crowded and it’s stuffy, the train’s goin’ through a tunnel
Round and around in a hurricane funnel

It’s all so insane
It’s like Tarzan said to Jane:
“Oh baby, it’s a jungle out there!”

Hold on to me honey, wrap your legs tight around
Things are gonna get bumpy when we hit the ground
All those well-meaning people can’t help you one bit
They’ll step over your corpse and they won’t give a shit
Maybe just dumb luck will see us through
Pray for me, I’ll pray for you

There’s no need to explain
It’s like Tarzan said to Jane:
“Oh baby, it’s a jungle out there!”

The Prime Minister’s son says that everything’s fine
Everything’s lookin’ good from his side of the line
His train left the station and it never arrived
And they never will find it though they search far and wide
The flagpole is broken, the banner is torn
The one who could save us has died or has not yet been born
They’re tryin’ to get somewhere, they’re not sure of the way there
But they’ll turn on each other before they get anywhere

I don’t mean to complain
But it’s like Cheetah said to Jane:
“Oh baby, it’s a jungle out there!”

My spirit is weary, my body is sore
I’ve been pulled through a hedge backwards and thrown on the floor
I tried to keep tears at bay, but they came anyway
Forced to my knees so many time I figured I might as well pray
The ship’s listing sideways, the order’s goin’ down
It never was that good to me anyway, I don’t know whether I should laugh or frown
The conductor leaned over, pulled the throttle full out
Nobody told him that the bridge was out
We loved each other in spirit where flesh and blood could never see
More real and more eternal than flesh and blood could ever be

What more could be gained?
It’s like Tarzan said to Jane:
“Oh baby, it’s a jungle out there!”
