Borderline Lyrics
Goodbye ills I've got doctors' pills
To see me through the night
They're turning loose the old recluse
Who's hiding from the light
I take my sleep while young girls weep
And tell the same sad story
And those who lose must pay their dues
While heroes take the glory
I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Well, I'm on the borderline
And no one ever shed a tear
Well I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
Won't you try to get me out of here?
Empty blind and far behind
Are eyes that never see
And after fame forgets your name
The prisoner goes free
Too much pain to break the chain
The weak man should be stronger
But losing face is no disgrace
The way could be much longer
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
And no one ever shed a tear
Well, I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
Won't you try to get me out of here?
All right!

Give your soul to rock & roll
There's no place you can hide
Just tell the man, he'll understand
You did it for the ride
How much time to plan the crime
That takes away your freedom?
Then count the cost of what you lost
To give your life a reason
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
And no one ever shed a tear
Well, I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
Won't you try to get me out of here?
All Right!
I'm on the borderline
Well, I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
And no-one ever shed a tear
Get me out of here!
I'm on the borderline
Said I'm on the borderline
I'm on the borderline
Won't you try to get me out of here?
All right
