Manuel Paris - Locked Up In The Jungle

from NAKED SON by MANUEL PARIS

/

lyrics

LOCKED UP IN THE JUNGLE

Her I am in this filthy cell
Cramped with strangers
Violence here is my daily bread
‘cause I’m locked up in the jungle
My father ‘s worn down by guiltiness and sorrow
My mother says that she ain’t got no son no more
And I am helpless and feelin’ low
Just hidden from the sun
Shut away behind

These walls I can’t stand
These bars I wanna break
Your love I’m missin’
Come and take me away Baby


I’m getting’ to know the dog in me
Without him I could not survive
Among the pack you gotta bare the teeth
Or you may lose your mind
This world used to seem to me so wide
But now I can’t even figure myself out someday
Only yesterday I was a child
Now I’m old for the rest of my days
Torn away from youth by

These walls I can’t stand
These bars I wanna break
Your love I’m missin’
Come and take me away Baby
Come and take me away
Come and take me away Baby
Come and take me away

This rage inside these dreams so wild
And all these promises turned into lies
They’ve all come up against these walls
They’ve all shattered against these bars
This place is getting’ the better of me
And I swear I did not deserved such a pain
The streets where I grew up are my only sin
Now I got nothin’ to hang on to but believe
you’re gonna save me from

These walls I can’t stand
These bars I wanna break
Your love I’m missin’
Come and take me away Baby
Come and take me away
Come and take me away Baby
Come and take me away
Come and take me away Baby
Come and take me away
