He was born on a subway train
No one ever knew his name
Never knows about tomorrow

He is a modern hero

A shadow goes by

There is no trace left behind - to remind

Chorus A:

King of the jungle
King of the night
King of the jungle

He will survive

He learned to live the city life

Where a stranger's glance can cut you like a knife

His life is a simple story

On the streets there is no glory
A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind


Chorus B:
King of the jungle
King of the night

King of the jungle
He will survive
Alone with his pride

Into the night he will ride

Feels no pain he has no sorrow

By himself no one to follow
Expectations next to zero
He is a modern hero

A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind
