Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No sun will shine in my day today
(No sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
(Won't come out to play)
Darkness has covered my light
(An the stage) And the stage my day into night
(Ooh) Now where is this love to be found?
[Verse 2]
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause my life (Sweet life)
Must be somewhere (Sweet life)
To be found (Must be somewhere for me)
Instead of a concrete jungle (Jungle)
Where the living is harder (Concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle (Jungle)
Oh, man, you've got to do your best, yeah (Concrete jungle)
[Verse 3]
No chains around my feet
But I'm not free
I know I am bound here in captivity
And I've never known happiness
And I've never known sweet caresses
Still I'll be always laughing like a clown
[Verse 4]
Won't someone help me?
'Cause I (Sweet life)
I've got to pick myself (Sweet life)
From off the ground (Must be somewhere for me)
[Verse 5]
In this a concrete jungle (Jungle)
I say, what do you got for me now? (Concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle (Jungle)
Oh, why won't you let me be now? (Concrete jungle)
[Verse 6]
I said that life (Sweet life)
Must be somewhere (Sweet life)
To be found, yeah, yeah (Must be somewhere for me)
Instead of a concrete jungle (Jungle)
Where the living is harder (Concrete jungle)
[Verse 7]
Concrete jungle (Jungle)
Oh, man, you've got to do your best, yeah (Concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle (Jungle)
You named it
In this concrete jungle (Concrete jungle)
(Jungle, jungle, jungle)
[Verse 8]
Concrete jungle, you named it (Jungle)
We've got it
Concrete jungle now (Concrete jungle)
(Jungle, jungle, jungle)
