TUMBLE AND TWIRL lyrics

Artist  : IGGY POP 
Song : TUMBLE AND TWIRL
 



i've seen the city i took the next flight for
borneo they say it's pretty i like the tee shirts
in borneo some wear bob marley others in playboy
or duvalier make the last plane come let me rise
through the cloudy above with a book on borneo
strangers come and go it's such a waste of time
problems far behind another day but even in
springtime it's a rich slice of life so send me a
letter i'll reply with a postcard that dusky
mulatto in nylons and tattoos hot juice in coke
bottles we dance in the sand well, they twirl and
they tumble yes, they twirl and they tumble well,
i'll twirl and i'll tumble i've been to leon's
he's got nine daughters and a stereo they say
that leon watches from the tree tops in borneo
when the road is mud everything stops with a thud
that's the way it goes down yonder in borneo far
beneath his mansion there's an open drain sending
all the sewage down the hill but when the general
shows movies no one hesitates to sneak from the
jungle they laugh and they mumble enjoying the
show and that dusky mulatto hot juice in coke
bottles in blue jeans and tattoos well, they
twirl and they tumble yes, they twirl and they
tumble well, i'll twirl and i'll tumble i like
the free world they say it's pretty this time of
year they tumble and twirl they tumble and twirl
i'll tumble and twirl etc.
