Back On the Borderline

From the bar to the bedroom, I'm swimming in the neon

Lighted pictures of a redhead, plasticoated hot on

And sometimes when that mirror shows

The smile of disbelief

Stained signatures of nightmares

They're stolen by the thief, yeah

I'm back on the borderline

Yes, I'm back on the borderline

In the end, make a bet and the only place is laminex

In control, see this girl

Laugh a lot, cry a lot, salt and pepper, supper, sex

And sometimes when that magic come

The old man fails the test

In retrospect that diamond day

Did not make second best

And sometimes when a thousand voices

Tell you that you're wrong

A saint in any form

Becomes a sinner all along

I'm back on the borderline

Yes, I'm back on the borderline

Yes, I'm back on the borderline

Yes, I'm back on the borderline

Well, I'm back on the borderline

Oh, I'm back on the borderline
