《The Jungle Line》歌词

[00:00:00] The Jungle Line - Herbie Hancock (赫比·汉考克)/Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Joni Mitchell

[00:00:00] Producer：Herbie Hancock

[00:00:15] Rousseau walks on trumpet paths

[00:00:20] Safaris to the heart of all that jazz

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

[00:00:34] The mathematic circuits of the modern nights

[00:00:42] Through huts through Harlem through jails and gospel pews

[00:00:51] Through the class on park and the trash on vine

[00:00:55] Through Europe and the deep deep heart of Dixie blue

[00:01:03] Through savage progress cuts the jungle line

[00:01:20] In a low cut blouse she brings the beer

[00:01:24] Rousseau paints a jungle flower behind her ear

[00:01:32] Those cannibals of shuck and jive

[00:01:34] They'll eat a working girl like her alive

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

[00:01:45] He paints the cellar full of ferns and orchid vines

[00:01:50] And he hangs a moon above a five piece band

[00:01:57] He hangs it up above the jungle line

[00:02:15] The jungle line the jungle line

[00:02:18] Screaming in a ritual of sound and time

[00:02:26] Floating drifting on the air-conditioned wind

[00:02:30] And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in

[00:02:36] Pretty women funneled through valves and smoke

[00:02:40] Coy and b**chy wild and fine

[00:02:44] And charging elephants and chanting slaving boats

[00:02:51] Charging chanting down the jungle line

[00:03:07] There's a poppy wreath on a soldier's tomb

[00:03:12] There's a poppy snake in a dressing room

[00:03:17] Poppy poison poppy tourniquet

[00:03:21] It slithers away on brass like mouthpiece spit

[00:03:28] And metal skin and ivory birds

[00:03:32] Go steaming up to Rousseau's vines

[00:03:40] They go steaming up to Brooklyn Bridge

[00:03:44] Steaming steaming steaming up the jungle line
