James McMurtry - Wild Man From Borneo lyrics

I'm the star of Captain Midnight's traveling show Came to this circus many moons ago My mother's in your story books She loved a jungle king Left me standing here alone Inside the center ring In a bamboo cage I crossed the raging sea Like a page torn direct from history A hairy scary legendary screaming souvenir Don't you come too close to me Don't you come too near (chorus) I'm the wild man from Borneo The wild man from Borneo You come to see What you want to see You come to see but you never come to know of The tattooed lady left the circus train Left all of her pictures in the rain And 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
