Jungle Fire

Somewhere old memories

Echoed from the street in a crying hole

Just a song from long ago

When I lost my easy gods to the Harlem insect laws

I heard your baited moans
And the passing cars the and swirling
Songs and the black man's bones
Through the walls and the stalls and the cackling calls

You were there

You were an island behind the sun

Yes, an island
Where my love could live and life breathes
From deep inside

Deep, deep, deep, deep inside

Mama Lie Mama lie, I love you like a jungle fire
