Borneo Poems

Borneo Farewell

We have come and we have seen
what never should have been
we have said our prayer
and left them there
heard them sigh
goodbye

- John Lewis

WILD MAN OUT BORNEO

by Thunderchief

I wanna blow up sticks of dynamite
burn all my bridges ... start a fight
with both guns drawn ... I'm on till dawn
my rocket ship is taking flight !
That's right !
I am
The wild man baby --- out Borneo
I said the wild man baby --- just watch me go
oh yea the wild man baby --- and don't cha know
Upon a vine -- I'm swinging low
above the law -- won't be controlled
I kick and claw -- I think it shows
There goes the wild man baby --- out Borneo
yes I the wild man baby --- just watch me flow
again the wild man baby --- and don't cha know
B-52 -- I drop the bombs
along my flight -- I write the songs
I need a hit -- get out the bong
cause I'm the wild one baby --- out Borneo

[ jungle noise .. ape sounds etc. w drums , heavy bass line
and organ music ]

I wanna show up late with loaded dice
provoke the crowd ... ta going twice
when odds are long ... my time has come
I want it all ... my only vice !
That's right !
I am
The wild man baby --- out Borneo
yes I the wild man baby --- just watch me go
oh yea the wild man baby --- and don't cha know
It's like my bones -- have gone insane
when they jump out -- my covered frame
my ass is gone -- my soul remains
There goes the wild man baby --- out Borneo
yes I the wild man baby -- just watch me flow
again the wild man baby -- and don't cha know
I'm kicking ass -- and taking names
a big black car -- and white cocaine
I've got an act -- and I remain
To be the wild thang baby --- out Borneo
