Lyrics (as sung by Elliott)
No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won’t come out to play
I said darkness has covered my light,
And has changed my day into night
Where is the love to be found?
Won’t someone tell me please ‘cause
Life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle,
Where the living is hardest.
Concrete jungle
Oh Man, you got to do your best
Oh Man, you got to do your best
No chains around my feet
But I’m not free
I know I am bounded in captivity; yeah
I’ll Never know what happiness is;
I’ve never known what sweet caress is,
Still, I’ll be always laughing like a clown;
Won’t someone help me please, ‘cause I
Got to pick myself from off the ground
In this concrete jungle
What do you got for me?
Concrete jungle, oh man, why can’t you let me be?
Notes
Elliott recorded this demo for a friend’s birthday.
