Bananarama, “King of the jungle”

 

Lurking, he knows your face / He waits and bides his time / Mind clocks your every move ’till you step out of line / Stalking streets by night, pushing guns by day / He knows it isn’t right, but he wants to make his name

He’s working harder / Gotta make another, make another martyr

Hide your eyes, they’re moving closer / But you know you’re not allowed to look them in the face / Hide your eyes, ’cause you’re a loser / Before you even start to run, you’ve lost the race

You’ll never know the place until your time has come / It’ll be a sunny day, until his work is done / Doesn′t care what pain you feel, can’t see your mother’s tears / As she counts the cost of the life that’s lost / And twenty wasted years

He thinks he’s smarter / Gone and made another, made another martyr

Hide your eyes, they’re moving closer / But you know you’re not allowed to look them in the face / Hide your eyes, ’cause you’re a loser / Before you even start to run, you’ve lost the race

Who’s the king of the jungle? / Who’s afraid of the jungle? / Who’s the king of the jungle now?

He’s working harder / Gotta make another, make another martyr

Hide your eyes, they’re moving closer / But you know you’re not allowed to look them in the face / Hide your eyes, ’cause you’re a loser / Before you even start to run, you’ve lost the race

Who’s the king of the jungle? / Who’s afraid of the jungle? / Who’s the king of the jungle now?

Hide your eyes, they′re moving closer (Who’s the king of the jungle? Who’s afraid of the jungle? Who’s the king of the jungle now?)

Hide your eyes, ’cause you’re a loser (Who’s the king of the jungle? Who’s afraid of the jungle? Who’s the king of the jungle now?)
