Wild Man from Borneo |
I’m the star of Captain Midnite’s travelin' show |
Came to this circus many moons ago. |
My mother’s in your storybooks, she loved a jungle king, |
Left me standin' here alone inside the center ring. |
In a bamboo cage I crossed the ragin' sea, |
A livin' page torn clean from history. |
A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir, |
Now don’t you come too close to me, don’t you come too near. |
I’m the wild man from Borneo, |
The wild man from Borneo. |
You come to see what you wanna see, |
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know. |
The tattooed lady left the circus train |
Lost all of her pictures in the rain. |
I wonder if you’re happy, I wonder if you’re free |
I wonder if you’ll ever know the mark you left on me. |
I’m the wild man from Borneo, The wild man. |
You come to see what you wanna see, |
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know. |
We come to see what we want to see, |
Oh, we come to see, but we never come to know. |
