《The Jungle Line(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Jungle Line (LP版) (Live) - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:02] Written by：Joni Mitchell

[00:00:12] Rousseau walks on trumpet paths

[00:00:18] Safaris to the heart of all that jazz

[00:00:26] Through I bars and girders through wires and pipes

[00:00:32] The mathematic circuits of the modern nights

[00:00:41] Through huts through harlem through jails and gospel pews

[00:00:46] Through the class on park and the trash on vine

[00:00:52] Through Europe and the deep deep heart of dixie blue

[00:00:57] Through savage progress cuts

[00:01:00] The jungle line

[00:01:13] In a low cut blouse she brings the beer

[00:01:18] Rousseau paints a jungle flower behind her ear

[00:01:27] Those cannibals of shuck and jive

[00:01:33] They'll eat a working girl like her alive

[00:01:41] With his hard edged eye and his steady hand

[00:01:47] He paints the cellar full of ferns and orchid vines

[00:01:52] And he hangs a moon above a five piece band

[00:01:58] He hangs it up above

[00:02:01] The jungle line

[00:02:13] The jungle line the jungle line

[00:02:19] Screaming in a ritual of sound and time

[00:02:28] Floating drifting on the air conditioned wind

[00:02:33] And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in

[00:02:42] Pretty women funneled through valves and smoke

[00:02:48] Coy and bitchy

[00:02:51] Wild and fine

[00:02:54] And charging elephants and chanting slaving boats

[00:02:59] Charging chanting down

[00:03:02] The jungle line

[00:03:14] There's a poppy wreath on a soldier's tomb

[00:03:20] There's a poppy snake in a dressing room

[00:03:29] Poppy poison

[00:03:32] Poppy tourniquet

[00:03:34] It slithers away on brass like mouthpiece spit

[00:03:43] And metal skin and ivory birds

[00:03:49] Go steaming up to rousseau's vines

[00:03:53] They go

[00:03:54] Steaming up to Brooklyn bridge

[00:04:00] Steaming steaming steaming up

[00:04:03] The jungle line
