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 got 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
