The Fiery Furnaces - Borneo lyrics
rate me
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.

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
