Close To The Borderline Lyrics
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
The buns drop dead and dogs go
mad
In packs on the West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like
another suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
'Cause the news at six
gotta stick to a deadline
While the millionaires hide in Beekman
Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a
kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it
down
Life is tough but it's just enough
To hold back the tears until
it's closing time
I survived, I'm still alive
But I'm getting close to
the borderline
Close to the borderline
A buck three
eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
And when you
can get gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Rich
man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The
no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell
With the next big meltdown
I
got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must
change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
THey don't
know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't
cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm
still a nice guy
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the
borderline
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
I thought I'd
throw them all away
I didn't think I needed anything
But you can't
afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
I need a doctor for
my pressure pills
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
I need a banker
to finance my home
I need security to back my loan
It isn't new what
I'm going through
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Another
night I fought the good fight
But I'm getting closer to the
borderline
Closer to the borderline.
