Jungle In Paris

Gold chain swingin'

Cold rain hittin' the glass

City feel vicious

I just watch it pass

Lion in the arrondissement

Scar on the mind, that’s the ornament

Heart on fire on the boulevard

Eyes on me when I cross the yard

Steam from the café, breath in the air

Concrete jungle, they pause and stare

Paws on the pavement, hungry and patient

King in a kingdom of vacant faces

Snake in the grass by the river bend

Tongue full of rumors that never end

Hiss in the ear like “we could be friends”

Smile too wide when the story bends

Coiled in the shadows of monuments

Selling you dreams in installments

I learned the accent of danger quick

Bonjour to the blade and the politics

Jungle in Paris, crown on my head

Lion on the loose, can’t cage what I said

Snake in the corner, watch how it move

I walk through the myth, got nothing to prove

Jungle in Paris, teeth, fangs, pearl

Heartbang heartbeat shake this world

Lion and the snake in the same cold rain

I dance through the dark, let it carve my name (hey!)

Metro roar when the doors slide back

Eyes scan faces for the hidden attack

Beauty in the arches, blood in the cracks

Love on the lips, knife in the back

Cheap red wine on the second floor

Laugh too loud, still check the door

Trust too thin like a cigarette

Light it, burn it, breathe regret

Lion in my chest when the rent due

Growl at the fear, gotta push through

Snake in my head say “you’ll fall soon”

I crush that voice on the marble noon

I’ve been broke by the river with a busted phone

Still spit gold by the cobblestone

Sky turn pink over towers of glass

I keep my crown while the cowards pass (woah)

Jungle in Paris, crown on my head

Lion on the loose, can’t cage what I said

Snake in the corner, watch how it move

I walk through the myth, got nothing to prove

Jungle in Paris, teeth, fangs, pearl

Heartbang heartbeat shake this world

Lion and the snake in the same cold rain

I dance through the dark, let it carve my name
