Mumbai
In Mumbai today lives a leopard
A legend of the concrete jungle
Oh it's true if only a bit absurd
Rarely finishing a kill unbungled
In Mumbai today there is a house
Reaching sixty floors in the air
Oh it's true this bargain with Faust
An open pit of avarice, a lair.
Between the vipers in the tower
And the leopard in the slums
Rolling blackouts of power
The backup generator hums.
