Lyrics

All your dreams- fast asleep
in a room somewhere
Jungle floors creak beneath
and a rocking chair
Your waiting for your hero to free fall
out of the sky and into your lap
I don’t know why
You set the lions and tigers free from the zoo
You were expecting Tarzan to gather them up for you
You don’t realize the time, do you?
Jane, you’re taking the back way up to your door
Jane, you’re knocking, but the man with the monkey
don’t live there anymore
Time has cast taller shadows over the path that led you
Back into an developing concrete jungle
You’re looking for your hero – he’s nowhere around
He’s left the tropics and moved to higher ground
Don’t keep searching through trees
You should decide to leave, ’cause
waiting is not for those who feed on mystery
Jane, you’re taking the back way up to your door
Jane, you’re knocking, but the man don’t live there anymore
Jane, you’re taking the back way
