lirik lagu borneo – the fiery furnaces

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; 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 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 s-m-n 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 b-tterflies all day long.
’til the bulldozers turned us into whole fruit fruit bar sticks and
china markers
