[Verse]
C                 F         
The Rangers had a homecoming
C                   F    
In Harlem late last night
        C                   F            
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
C                     F   
Over the Jersey state line
C                                    F      
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
              C                       F   
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
        Dm                                
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
                     Dm             
Together they take a stab at romance
    F                       C    F C
And disappear down Flamingo Lane ■ ■
F C                           F            
■ Well the Maximum Lawmen run down Flamingo
        C                        F   
Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
    C                                    F      
And the kids 'round there live just like shadows
C                    F    
Always quiet holding hands


[Chorus]
C                        F    
From the churches to the jails
               C              F    
Tonight all is silence in the world
Dm                  
As we take our stand
Dm7     Gsus4     
Down in Jungleland

[Verse]
Gsus4 C               F        
The   midnight gang's assembled
             C          F       G    
And picked a rendezvous for the night
                    C          F         
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
            C         F         
That brings this fair city light
               C                F       
Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike
          G      C                   F        
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
G               C    F               C    F         
Until the local cops CherryTops rips this holy night


[Chorus]
Dm           Em                        F   
The street's alive as secret debts are paid
G        Em              F     
Contacts made they flash unseen
G            Em                F            G
■ Kids flash guitars just like switchblades ■
Dm                      F      
Hustling for the record machine
G     Bb                   
■ The hungry and the hunted
C Dm                              
■ Explode into rock 'n' roll bands
Bb                                                   
■  That face off against each other out in the street
Dm7     Gsus4     
Down in Jungleland

[Verse]
       Bb                                F             C   
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
G                               Bb     
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing
       F                   C7   
To the records that the DJ plays
Bb                                           
Lonelyhearted lovers struggle in dark corners
F                            C   
Desperate as the night moves ■ on
G                   Bb      C   Eb          
Just one look and a whisper and they're gone

Eb                              
Beneath the city two hearts beat
C                              Gm7   Bb Cm7   
Soul engines running through a night so tender
Bb Abmaj7 Bb7            Ab            
■  In a   bedroom locked ■  in whispers
   Ebsus4 Eb          Bb   Bbsus4           Bb
Of soft   refusal and then ■      surrender ■ 
Bb7 Eb                    Bb7 Eb        Bb                 
■   In the tunnels uptown the Rat's own dream guns him down
   C               G                C        
As shots echo down them hallways in the night
Ab                                Bb    Bb7  Ab
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away ■ 
Bb7                              Bb7               C
■   Or as the girl shuts out the ■   bedroom light ■
G             C                     F          Gsus4
■ Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz


[Chorus]
               Dm               C       F G
Between what's flesh and what's fantasy ■ ■
    Dm        C                     F          G  
And the poets down here don't write nothing at all
          Dm             C            
They just stand back and let it all be
F   G7        Bb                                          
And ■  in the quick of a knife they reach for their moment
                                Dm
And try to make an honest stand ■ 
                 Bb                   
But they wind up wounded not even dead
