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 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
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
Jungle land
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
Pained 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
Jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
