The Jungle Cantata

paraphrase of Werner Herzog
Overwhelming growth, overwhelming disorder
even the stars here look like a mess
there is no harmony
the birds here, they do not sing
they screech in pain,
but we love the wild against all of our reasoning
Fornication, asphyxiation
germination, rotting away
creation is unfinished
Badly pronounced and unfinished sentences
we are in comparison to this enormous baseness
we're badly pronounced and unfinished
in comparison to the overwhelming growth, we're suburban
but the misery is the same all around us
Fornication, asphyxiation
germination, rotting away
creation is unfinished
The birds here, they do not sing
they screech in pain
there is no harmony,
but the overwhelming and collective murder

Where are the Arms
by Gabriel Kahane
Gabriel Kahane is often compared to Sufjan Stevens and Rufus Wainwright (both of whom he’s collaborated with in the past).
