Allie Lusha - Concrete Jungle

Concrete jungle, rats and cats
Illuminated cats eyes traps draw us in
Grin when you fall
No applause when you win
Jungle life with jungle things
Food is scarce, though greed is breeding
No Lion in sight,
Tigers died from the fight
Eyes appear dim
Darkness steering you in
Want is need, need not want
No one cares for believing
Jungle days, Jungle sunset
Watch where one places there feet for some step
Too far and the jungle is no more
This jungle has but a one way door
For once was free and all so clear
In the jungle now nothing appears
But concrete jungle, rats and cats
A song without substance
No beat no clap
For once was free and all so clear
The inhabitants of the jungle made the jungle disappear
