Wild Man From Borneo

Guy Clark

INTRO Spoken: But he ain't no freak, and I'm shure, he ain't no geek. verse 1 He's the star of Captain Midnite's travelin' show He came to that circus many moons ago. His mother's in your storybook, she loved a jungle king, Left him standin' there alone inside the center ring. verse 2 In a bamboo cage he crossed the ragin' sea, A livin' page torn clean from history. A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir, Don't you get too close to him, don't you get too near. Chorus He's the wild man from Borneo, The wild man from Borneo. We come to see what we wanna see, Ah, we come to see but we never come to know. Instrumental verse 3 The tattooed lady left the circus train Lost all her pictures in the rain. He wonders if she's happy, as the midway lights grow dimmed He wonders if she'll ever know the mark she left on him. Chorus He's the wild man from Borneo, The wild man ... We come to see what we wanna see, Ah, we come to see but we never come to know. You come to see what you want to see, Ah, you come to see, but you never come to know.
