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

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

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

Through I bars and girders[00:00:26]

Through wires and pipes[00:00:30]

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

Through huts through harlem[00:00:42]

Through jails and gospel pews[00:00:44]

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

Through europe[00:00:55]

And the deep deep heart of dixie blue[00:00:56]

Through savage progress[00:01:03]

Cuts the jungle line[00:01:05]

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

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

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

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

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

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

And orchid vines[00:01:48]

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

He hangs it up above the jungle line[00:01:58]

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

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

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

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

Pretty women[00:02:36]

Funneled through valves and smoke[00:02:38]

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

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

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

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

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

Poppy poison poppy tourniquet[00:03:17]

It slithers away on brass[00:03:21]

Like mouthpiece spit[00:03:24]

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

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

They go steaming up to brooklyn bridge[00:03:40]

Steaming[00:03:44]

Steaming[00:03:46]

Steaming up[00:03:48]

The jungle line[00:03:50]
