Back On the Borderline (LIVE at the Old Lion, Adelaide 1982)

[Intro]
Cha-cha-cha

[Verse 1]
From the bar to the bed, 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
Stolen by the thief, oh, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm back on the borderline
Yes, I'm back on the borderline

[Verse 2]
In the end, make a bet, and only place is Laminex
That's one, looks good
Laugh a lot, cry a lot, salt and pepper, opposites
Alright now, I'm high
And sometimes when that magic of the moment fails the test
In retrospect, that time of 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

[Chorus]
I'm back on the borderline
Yes, I'm back on the borderline

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Well, I'm back on the borderline
So read away
I'm back on the borderline
It's my heart on
It's not late, see my wedding
Back on the borderline
It's a minute out, it's in my way, not again

[Outro]
It's a good night to have a good night
Say good well, sir, don't go go drive
Sir, don't go down
