Where The Wild Vines Grow | updated

[Intro: rainforest ambience, distant thunder, soft animal calls] “Eee-eee-eee…” “Caw-caw… caw-caw…” “Way-ohhh…” [Verse 1] I’ve never been in the jungle-oh But if I went I’d never go home-oh Build a little bungalow Deep where the wild vines grow-oh Big leaf shadows on my skin Fireflies dancin’ in the wind River hum like a radio Singin’ low-low-low-low-low [Pre-Chorus] Where the trees make a cathedral ceiling Everything alive and breathing Eyes in the dark all glow gold-green You don’t hunt the jungle The jungle dreams you “Eh-eh-eh-eh!” “Caw-caw-caw-ohhh!” [Chorus] In the jungle-ohhh We sway slow Bare feet on the river stone Wild hearts never alone Oh the lions roar And the monkeys swing Panthers melt into everything Camouflage in the midnight glow Way-ohhh-ohhh In the jungle-oh [Animal Vocal Break] “Eee-eee-eee-eee!” “Hahh-hahh-hahh!” “Ooooo-ya-way-oh!” “Caw-caw-caw-ohhh…” [Verse 2] Banana moon and a mango sky Heat risin’ up while the bats fly by Somebody beat on a hollow log Whole night jump like a jungle god You laugh with your teeth all white Eyes like thunder in the firelight No clock ticking, no telephone Just the boom-boom jungle tone [Bridge: half-time tribal groove, deeper bass, layered chants] No gold chains in the jungle No king sittin’ on a throne Just the sound of the living And the beat inside your bones Rain come down in diamonds Steam rise up from the earth And the whole damn jungle sing Like the planet know your worth [Final Chorus Explosion] In the jungle-ohhh Don’t move slow Feel the fever in your bones Let the wild take control Lion call and the panther glide Monkey choir from the other side Every creature singin’ feral soul Way-ohhh-ohhh In the jungle-ohhhhh [Outro: layered animal choir fading into rain and drums] “Eee-eee-eee…” “Caw-caw…” “Way-ohhh…”
