Borneo Songtext

Try to run an errand. Nervous sweat.

I rush back home and if I win I'll give her half (I bet.)

Online casinos in the Caymans;

Legal disclaimer writ for layman's.



I moved back into New Canaan;

babysit my sister's kids; it's rainin'.

They fuss a bit while I put them to bed,

and grumpy, sitting on the couch, I get it in my head:

take Metro North. A silver candlestick.
to Aquaduct on LIRR Pick.



I was so bored with my new life.

I felt like I new all the odds.



I bet 'gainst myself I wouldn't wager

my boyfriend's mother's mansion (nothing major).

I stole the deed one night when she was drunk.

I drove onto the revervation with it in my trunk.

Sensors beep the threshold when I crossed it;

thirty thousand marker soon I lost it.



Baltimore inner harbor (sports) zone:

being courted. He's talking on his cell phone.

"let me tell you why I think I love her:

She knows you always take the bye week dome home team to cover."

Go up to Pimlico and I choose.

It's no fun if it's fine when you lose.



I was so tired with all the angles;

I was so bored with losin' easy



So I gambled on going further a-field.

so I flew to Sydney and then to Bali and then to Jakarta

and called on my step-father's ex-business partner

Major Timmy Sastrosatomo

and he set me up as a silver smith/batik dabber

in a house once owned by the Princes of Mataran.

And he told me all his trobles.



We bribed a CFO at Semen Cibinong

to get them to buy a 40% stake

and we got a 5 million dollar order from Nieman Marcus

which we filled about 10%

but I did sell them my children's book

which I said was a South Sumatran

folk tale- which went like this:



I played cards for seven days straight,

was up $47 dollars late

evening as the sun went down I saw

the ace of diamonds up his sleeve - black velvet on his paw.

I fold, say goodbye politely.

They bark, you don't get off that lightly.



I dreamed of a casino way up in the hills of Borneo

where I lost with the giant flying squirrels and orange orangutans and great morman butterflies all day long.

'Til the bulldozers turned us into Whole Fruit Fruit Bar sticks and china markers.
