Joey rides the subway Fast from east to west On the street he's number one Some say that he's the best Got something going on In a honkey tonk down town He is expected Word has got around The other-side of midnight Or in the combat zone Meeting no resistance Joe stands alone Night riders prowling Out into the night There's someone else out there And they're looking for a fight Between the rain soaked buildings A distant whistle blows Fate lies in waiting It's hand it never shows [Chorus] Heart beating like a drum Out in this wasteland And there's no place baby for us to run (In) Jungle land (baby) Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land. jungle land Under the railway arches Someone calls his name Streams out the words Come on boy this ain't no game One flash of bright cold stsel In a stranger's hand Kids dance away like shadows There's no one to command Joey's got his name Pairited on the wells On the side of buses Subways and tenement halls [Chorus] Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land
