Song | Jungleland (live) |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen |
Album | Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 [live] |
作词 : Springsteen | |
The rangers had a homecoming in harlem late last night | |
And the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line | |
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a dodge | |
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain | |
The rat pulls into town rolls up his pants | |
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down flamingo lane | |
Well the maximum lawman run down flamingo chasing the rat and the barefoot | |
Girl | |
And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands | |
From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world | |
As we take our stand down in jungleland | |
The midnight gangs assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night | |
They'll meet `neath that giant exxon sign that brings this fair city light | |
Man there's an opera out on the turnpike | |
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley | |
Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night | |
The streets alive as secret debts are paid | |
Contacts made, they vanished unseen | |
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine | |
The hungry and the hunted explode into rocknroll bands | |
That face off against each other out in the street down in jungleland | |
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage | |
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the d.j. plays | |
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners | |
Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and they're gone | |
Beneath the city two hearts beat | |
Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked | |
In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown | |
The rats own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the | |
Night | |
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away | |
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light | |
Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz | |
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here | |
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be | |
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment | |
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead | |
Tonight in jungleland |
