The Jungle (featuring Shenandoah)

about

Accidental prog about what it means to work on a cattle call on both sides. Also, torn pay vouchers, state-mandated electrocutions, and that feeling like you're just trapped.

It was Stranger Things s3 and oh boy I got some stories

lyrics

My alarm is set for five
get up, get in the shower, time to shine
get ready, grab my keys, head out the door
a new day upon this show, I go forth
I check the picture of the call sheet
I see we have 300 BG
set my spot up at the tent
another day to pay the rent

I'm grateful for you - no, really, I am
sung stages of upward trajectory
I'll help you out - the best that I can
rungs on the ladder to my tranquility

100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
and I'm a card-carryin' man

Highlight the staggered hundreds
all the talking, my ears are dead
after all's been said, I rope my herd
through the corridors of Silling's moment of hurt
I get a call from the surveillance
another extra wasn't complacent
he screamed at [REDACTED], growing louder
got him off, burnt up his voucher

I'm grateful for you - no, really, I am
sung stages of upward trajectory
I'll help you out - the best that I can
rungs on the ladder to my tranquility

100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
and I'm a card-carryin' man

Shenandoah plays for me in my memories
Shenandoah waits for me through its melody
Shenandoah cauterizes my nerves for all time
Shenandoah numbs my mind 'til the moment that I die

I've been on the run from a loaded gun
why couldn't they see that their work is done
don't you ever mistreat them out on the street
surge through me, electricity

Shenandoah cools me down so I get around
Shenandoah feigns a sound, straps won't hold me down
Shenandoah calls for me through peaks and valleys
Shenandoah slyly schemes - sparks burn memories

Screaming back to reality
Burning me up, electicity
the pain pass-thru the twist-in-the-pair
Photo-lens vision stared with a glare

My son, why do you forsake me
My son, why can't you relate me
I didn't fire the shot
That started the rot
Untying the knot
You know Dexter's thought
We're Democrat Scots
we endlessly wrought

An angel appears before
with glasses of water adorning
I get up from my blackened vessel
live upon the Heavenly tress

Load out at the end of the day
from the mall - it's all been frayed
wait until the 2nd tells me to go
and then I'm off to do the next show

I'm grateful for you - no, really, I am
sung stages of upward trajectory
I'll help you out - the best that I can
rungs on the ladder to my tranquility

100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
and I'm a card-carryin' man

Shenandoah, Shenan-d'oh
