He was born on a subway train
No one ever knew his name
Never knows about tomorrow
He is a modern hero
A shadow goes by
There is no trace left behind - to remind
Chorus A:
King of the jungle
King of the night
King of the jungle
He will survive
He learned to live the city life
Where a stranger's glance can cut you like a knife
His life is a simple story
On the streets there is no glory
A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind
Chorus B:
King of the jungle
King of the night
King of the jungle
He will survive
Alone with his pride
Into the night he will ride
Feels no pain he has no sorrow
By himself no one to follow
Expectations next to zero
He is a modern hero
A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind
Chorus B
