Rousseau walks on trumpet paths[00:00:13]

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

Through i bars and girders-through wires and pipes[00:00:27]

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[00:00:47]

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

Through savage progress cuts the jungle line[00:00:58]

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

Rousseau paints a jungle flower behind her ear[00:01:19]

Those cannibals-of shuck and jive[00:01:28]

They'll eat a working girl like her alive[00:01:32]

With his hard-edged eye and his steady hand[00:01:42]

He paints the cellar full of ferns and orchid vines[00:01:48]

And he hangs a moon above a five-piece band[00:01:53]

He hangs it up above the jungle line[00:01:59]

The jungle line the jungle line[00:02:14]

Screaming in a ritual of sound and time[00:02:20]

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

And drooling for a taste of something smuggled in[00:02:34]

Pretty women funneled through valves and smoke[00:02:43]

Coy and *y wild and fine[00:02:49]

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

Charging chanting down the jungle line[00:03:00]

There's a poppy wreath on a soldier's tomb[00:03:15]

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

Poppy poison-poppy tourniquet[00:03:30]

It slithers away on brass like mouthpiece spit[00:03:35]

And metal skin and ivory birds[00:03:44]

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

They go steaming up to brooklyn bridge[00:03:54]

Steaming steaming steaming up the jungle line[00:04:00]
