****(jungle Law) Lyrics - Love And Rockets

Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees 

Some signifying hack was scratching backs for fleas 

Putting on their bad mouths on poor little me 

Spreading ugly untruths like it's some horrible disease 

He said that I said what I never did said 

But I said that it's rare that it's over your head 

Ask me a question, then print a lie 

I cancelled all appointments having vowed that he will die 

So I went to find the source of this malicious dirt 

Having re-read the words and washed the blood from my shirt 

When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree 

With one dirty finger on a typewriter key 

Sky is gray and the grass unseen 

And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen 

He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree 

But then he lost his balance and he fell down on his knees 

So I leapt on that mother, my anger to appease 

When I grabbed him by the throat, he said, "Oh, spare me please" 

Sure as gullible as my name, I let him go back to the trees 

And straight away the poisons flowing freely from the keys 

The sky is gray and the grass unseen 

And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen 

That mother he was laughing, bathing in the heat 

But then he slipped again and landed in the street 

Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees 

Nobody's seen that mother high in the fleas 

But there's a new one in the obituaries 

And it shows four stars where the name oughta be
