Intro: VS
VS
VS
The rangers had a homecoming in
VS
Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek
machine over the Jersey state
line
VS
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
VS
The Maximum Lawman run down
Flamingo chasing the Rat and the
barefoot girl
VS
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
VS
The midnight gang's assembled and
VS
picked a rendezvous for the night
VS
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,
VS
rips this holy night
The street's alive as secret debts
are paid
Contacts made, they vanished
unseen
Kids flash guitars just like
switch-blades hustling for the
VS
machine record
The hungry and the hunted
VS
explode into rock'n'roll bands
That face off against each other
VS
out in the street down in
Jungleland
In the parking lot the visionaries
dress in the latest rage
VS
Inside the backstreet girls are
dancing to the records that the
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in
dark corners
Desperate as the night moves on,
just a look and a whisper, and
VS
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 Rat's 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
VS
bedroom light
Outside the street's 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

About this song: Jungleland
"Jungleland" is an almost ten-minute long, epic closing song on Bruce Springsteen's classic 1975 album Born to Run, and tells a tale of love amid a backdrop of gang violence. It contains one of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons' most recognizable solos. It also features short-time E Streeter Suki Lahav, who performs the delicate 23-note violin introduction to the song, accompanied by Roy Bittan on piano in the foreboding opening.The song in its lyrics mirrors the pattern of the entire Born to Run album Read more on Last.fm.
