The Fiery Furnaces Borneo Lyrics
I was so bored with my old life;
I was so bored with decent odds.
My new roommate left her debit card:
some sort of test for me. It's too hard.
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 Mataram.
And he told me all his troubles.
We bribed a CFO at s____ 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 b___erflies all day long.
'Til the bulldozers turned us into Whole Fruit Fruit Bar sticks and china markers
