Right, 9,700 feet above the sea, in my coconut tower. I'm
working for the RCC, converting monkeys and teaching
tolerance to the alligators. The language problem is
frustrating, about 40 different Papuan and Malayan languages
or dialects are spoken here. But the fireworks are
beautiful, I swing in my hammock at night, look up to see
god's light through the pin holes in the night sky and down
to see the rockets red glare.

Come to timor east or west
come and bring your very best
the very best and latest toys
for killing priests and girls and boys
