I see the way you move It's fluid Be here by my side Got nothing to hide I know that you're hurting I see the tears behind those eyes And I can't wipe them clear Your love is like gold to me But you hold me closer to the light With the final bullet inside Oh, I'm surrounded by But you throw me into the deep end Expect me to know how to swim And I put my faith in someone else 'Cause I will be just fine Welcome to the jungle Are you gonna dance with me Welcome to the jungle You got to close your eyes and see Welcome to the jungle Are you gonna dance with me Well, hold on, well, hold on Suit and tie with the black jeans on and I’m paralyzed 'Cause I think you got something like the biggest soul I’ve ever seen And I think you’re the one Suit and tie, with the curly hair making your way with that step and stare So tell me real, do you feel anything Ashes to ashes And the embers are ablaze Oh, I gotta rise among you, though then I think about your face every day But you pull me closer to the light You wouldn't find a bullet inside Only if you magnify Welcome to the jungle Are you gonna dance with me Welcome to the jungle You got to close your eyes and see Welcome to the jungle Are you gonna dance with me Well hold on, well hold on
