David Bowie - Tumble & Twirl Lyrics
Ive seen the cityI took the next flightFor borneoThey say its prettyI like the t-shirtsIn borneoSome wear bob marleyOthers in playboyOr duvalierMake the last plane comeLet me rise through the cloudy aboveWith a book on borneoStrangers come and goIts such a waste of timeProblems far behindAnother dayBut even in springtimeIts a rich slice of lifeSo send me a letterIll reply with a broken spearThat dusky mulattoIn nylons and tattoosHot juice in coke bottlesWe dance in the sandWell, they twirl and they tumbleYes, they twirl and they tumbleWell, Ill twirl and Ill tumbleIve been to leonsHes got nine daughtersAnd a stereoThey say that leonWatches from the tree topsIn borneoWhen the road is mudEverything stops with a thudThats the way it goes down yonder in borneoFar beneath his mansionTheres an open drainSending all the sewage down the hillBut when the general shows moviesNo one hesitatesTo sneak from the jungleThey laugh and they mumbleEnjoying the showAnd that dusky mulattoHot juice in coke bottlesIn blue jeans and tattoosWell, they twirl and they tumbleYes, they twirl and they tumbleWell, Ill twirl and Ill tumbleI like the free worldThey say its prettyThis time of yearThey tumble and twirlThey tumble and twirlIll tumble and twirlThey twirl and they tumbleThey twirl and they tumbleI like the free worldI like the free worldThey say its prettyThis time of yearThis time of yearTumble and tumbleI like the free world
