Borneo

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 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
