Borneo

 

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 casino in the caymans

Legal disclaimer writ for layman's



I moved back into new canaan

Babysit my sister's kids; its 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 knew 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 reservation 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 troubles



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 orangutans and great

Morman butterflies all day long.

'Til the bulldozers turned us into whole fruit fruit bar sticks and

China markers
