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 honkey 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
  
   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 stsel
   In a stranger's hand
   Kids dance away like shadows
   There's no one to command
  
   Joey's got his name
   Pairited on the wells
   On the side of buses
   Subways and tenement halls
  
   (Repeat *)
   Jungle land, jungle land
   Jungle land, jungle land
   Jungle land, jungle land
   Jungle land, jungle land
