Nothing went wrong today, did it?
So I'm talking straight with you
Tell me what you gonna do
Now that your sky is blue?
Yes, show up, yes, get paid
Well not so bad, it's true
And maybe there's other points of view
But they're not getting through
We never knew what it was we were missing
'Cause we never knew anything was missing at all
Start out small
Kid learns to crawl
Eye on the ball
Strengthen the wall
We sat in the class and learned how to learn
While we were thinking there was nothing more to thinking at all
Standing tall
Conference call
Shopping mall
Urban sprawl
Is this how creation crumbles?
Is it nothing but a tunnel?
Where's the angel in the jungle?
Is there hope within all hunger?
Must the rain fall down from somewhere?
The angel in the jungle
What's that headache? What's that pressure
Just behind your brow
Growing full and fresh and loud
Sprouting vines into the shroud?
Will today become the day it left you
Cast off on the ground
Staring straight up to the cloud
Where it twists in green and brown?
I never knew what it was sprouting inside
'Cause I never knew anything was growing at all
And nothing's on
Play along
Come join the throng
But something's wrong
And the only picture left in my memory is
Oil palm trees when I fall to my knees and dissolve
Everything's gone
Sing to the dawn
Trumpeter swan
Change the song
Is this how creation crumbles?
Is it nothing but a tunnel?
Where's the angel in the jungle?
Is there hope within all hunger?
Must the rain fall down from somewhere?
The angel in the jungle
The cradle in the rubble
The stranger in the family portrait
The mirror that burns before you
A voice that cuts through cities
With joyful rising rivers
Her wings unshed though autumn
In bloody disproportion
And I'm standing wracked and ready
And I'm begging please forget me
Black dogs at the edge of vision
Red crows and howling griffins
And I forget what I was
Forget what I was
Forget what I was singing
Is this how creation crumbles?
Is it nothing but a tunnel?
Where's the angel in the jungle?
Is there hope within all hunger?
Must the rain fall down from somewhere?
The angel in the jungle
Is this how creation crumbles?
Is it nothing but a tunnel?
Where's the angel in the jungle?
Is there hope within all hunger?
Must the rain fall down from somewhere?
The angel in the jungle
The angel in the jungle
