Tumble And Twirl Lyrics - David Bowie

1 I've seen the city

2 I took the next flight

3 for Borneo

4 They say it's pretty

5 I like the t-shirts

6 in Borneo

7 Some wear Bob Marley

8 Others in Playboy

9 or Duvalier

10 Make the last plane come

11 Let me rise through the cloudy above

12 with a book on Borneo

13 Strangers come and go

14 It's such a waste of time

15 Problems far behind

16 Another day

17 But even in springtime

18 It's a rich slice of life

19 So send me a letter

20 I'll reply with a broken spear

21 That dusky mulatto

22 In nylons and tattoos

23 Hot juice in coke bottles

24 We dance in the sand

25 Well, they twirl and they tumble

26 Yes, they twirl and they tumble

27 Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble

28 I've been to Leon's

29 He's got nine daughters

30 And a stereo

31 They say that Leon

32 Watches from the tree tops

33 in Borneo

34 When the road is mud

35 Everything stops with a thud

36 That's the way it goes down yonder in Borneo

37 Far beneath his mansion

38 There's an open drain

39 Sending all the sewage down the hill

40 But when the general shows movies

41 No one hesitates

42 To sneak from the jungle

43 They laugh and they mumble

44 Enjoying the show

45 And that dusky mulatto

46 Hot juice in coke bottles

47 In Blue Jeans and tattoos

48 Well, they twirl and they tumble

49 Yes, they twirl and they tumble

50 Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble

51 I like the free world

52 They say it's pretty

53 This time of year

54 They tumble and twirl

55 They tumble and twirl

56 I'll tumble and twirl

57 They twirl and they tumble

58 They twirl and they tumble

59 I like the free world

60 I like the free world

61 They say it's pretty

62 This time of year

63 This time of year

64 Tumble and tumble

65 I like the free world
