Tim Buckley - Jungle Fire lyrics
[Tim Buckley - Jungle Fire lyrics]
Somewhere old memories
Echoed from the street in a crying hole
Just a song from long ago
When I lost my easy gods
To the Harlem insect laws
I heard your baited moans and the
Passing cars and the swirling
Songs and the black man's bones
Through the walls and the stalls
And the cackling calls you were there
You were an island behind the sun
Yes an island
Where my love could live and life breathes
From deep inside deep deep deep deep inside
Mama Lie, I love you like a jungle fire
Echoed from the street in a crying hole
Just a song from long ago
When I lost my easy gods
To the Harlem insect laws
I heard your baited moans and the
Passing cars and the swirling
Songs and the black man's bones
Through the walls and the stalls
And the cackling calls you were there
You were an island behind the sun
Yes an island
Where my love could live and life breathes
From deep inside deep deep deep deep inside
Mama Lie, I love you like a jungle fire
