The Jungle Line (LP版) (Live) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

Written by：Joni Mitchell[00:00:02]

Rousseau walks on trumpet paths[00:00:12]

Safaris to the heart of all that jazz[00:00:18]

Through I bars and girders through wires and pipes[00:00:26]

The mathematic circuits of the modern nights[00:00:32]

Through huts through harlem through jails and gospel pews[00:00:41]

Through the class on park and the trash on vine[00:00:46]

Through Europe and the deep deep heart of dixie blue[00:00:52]

Through savage progress cuts[00:00:57]

The jungle line[00:01:00]

In a low cut blouse she brings the beer[00:01:13]

Rousseau paints a jungle flower behind her ear[00:01:18]

Those cannibals of shuck and jive[00:01:27]

They'll eat a working girl like her alive[00:01:33]

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

He paints the cellar full of ferns and orchid vines[00:01:47]

And he hangs a moon above a five piece band[00:01:52]

He hangs it up above[00:01:58]

The jungle line[00:02:01]

The jungle line the jungle line[00:02:13]

Screaming in a ritual of sound and time[00:02:19]

Floating drifting on the air conditioned wind[00:02:28]

And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in[00:02:33]

Pretty women funneled through valves and smoke[00:02:42]

Coy and bitchy[00:02:48]

Wild and fine[00:02:51]

And charging elephants and chanting slaving boats[00:02:54]

Charging chanting down[00:02:59]

The jungle line[00:03:02]

There's a poppy wreath on a soldier's tomb[00:03:14]

There's a poppy snake in a dressing room[00:03:20]

Poppy poison[00:03:29]

Poppy tourniquet[00:03:32]

It slithers away on brass like mouthpiece spit[00:03:34]

And metal skin and ivory birds[00:03:43]

Go steaming up to rousseau's vines[00:03:49]

They go[00:03:53]

Steaming up to Brooklyn bridge[00:03:54]

Steaming steaming steaming up[00:04:00]

The jungle line[00:04:03]
