Two o'clock Sunday, a glass and a latchkey
A thousand island dress in mum's car
Desperate dancing and modern romancing
Ooze through the drains like hot tar
Violent lives roar on and heartbeats pulse in time
Neon flickers off and on what I suppose is mine
I want to go to Borneo
Time gentlemen, please
Yellow moon and the seas are boiling in the estuary
The edge of the pier is so comfortably near
And a thousand bodies swell behind me
The eels turn to leeches - tarantula, hold my hand
Wrench me from Echo Beach and out of Dixieland
I want to go to Borneo
Sunlight slices the green canopy - pad softly and with trepidation
Bloated insects kiss the back of the neck for a slow sip of perspiration
Through tree and mangrove crawl back to the house of bones
Mother don't cry, I'm just not ready to come home
I want to go to Borneo
