No Place to Run

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 honky tonk downtown 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 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 steel In a stranger's hand Kids dance away like shadows There's no one to command Joey's got his name Painted on the walls On the side of buses Subways and tenement halls 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 Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land
