Borateen Songtext
von Self

Whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Stand, awake and unglued
We′ve got critical plans
What an incredible view
Why don't you soak it all in?
I′ve been given the option to live into the new year
I've been stuck between a rock and a vinyl interior

And I've got just enough to share
I′ve got enough to pass it along
And I′m just so damn glad I'm here
Isn′t everyone?

Borateen, tell me, what's it all mean?
And it′s bad enough that I'm having to figure it out
Borateen, I′m the king of my castle
When I drown it down, you spin me around


Not a boy, not a man
Innocence dissolved in your hand
It's a crutch, it's a crush
It′s a sudden rush, and it′s unplanned
It's a ball, it′s a chain
It's a crying shame, and it′s a gas
Understand: it's the only urge anyone has

And I′ve got just enough to share
I've got enough to pass it along
And I'm just so damn glad I′m here
Isn′t everyone?

Borateen, tell me, what's it all mean?
And it′s bad enough that I'm having to figure it out
Borateen, I′m the king of my castle
When I drown it down, you spin me around

Not just anyone, bold as I've become
Bite your lazy tongue
It′s a sin to me, all your flattery
It's just sympathy

It's just sympathy

And I′ve got just enough to share
I′ve got enough to pass it along
And I'm just so damn glad I′m here
You know where I'm from


Borateen, tell me, what′s it all mean?
And it's bad enough that I′m having to figure it out
Borateen, I'm the king of my castle
When I drown it down, you spin me around
