Jungle Lake

We called it jungle lake

Secluded in a feral glade

We'd dream of beasts and birds unheard of

After school, dipping in the sun-charged

Glossy black water till moonshine

Ooh

Every night we went down to the jungle lake

That time away from all our dumb mistakes

Swinging off the vines like a bunch of tumbling apes

Every night we went down to the jungle lake

The last night before Jenny went to war

Or that time that Billy Merk totaled his daddy's ride

Whenever things in Teddy's home went wild, when Archie knew that he was gonna do time

When trouble came our way we went to hide

In glossy black water till moonshine

Ooh

Every night we went down to the jungle lake

That time away from all our dumb mistakes

Swinging off the vines like a bunch of tumbling apes

Every night we went down to the jungle lake

Teddy don't you cry - no

This ain't no goodbye - yeah

Time is going by

But as long as we're close, it ain't gon' be dry in the

Jungle lake

Some lost their faith some lost their pride

By that goddamn lake

Under the moonshine

Down in the

Jungle lake

That time away from all our dumb mistakes

Swinging off the vines like a bunch of tumbling apes

Every night we went down to the jungle lake
