[00:00:00] Close to the Borderline - Billy Joel

[00:00:01] Written by：Billy Joel

[00:00:16] Blackout heatwave 44 caliber homicide

[00:00:22] The buns drop dead and the dogs go mad

[00:00:24] In packs on the west side

[00:00:27] The young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide

[00:00:32] She wants to hit those bricks

[00:00:34] 'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline

[00:00:37] While the millionaires hide in beekman place

[00:00:40] The bag ladies throw their bones in my face

[00:00:43] I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound

[00:00:45] I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down

[00:00:48] Life is tough but it's just enough

[00:00:51] To hold back the tears until it's closing time

[00:00:55] I survived I'm still alive

[00:00:57] But I'm getting close to the borderline

[00:01:01] Aha close to the borderline aha oh

[00:01:09] A buck three eighty

[00:01:11] Won't buy you much lately on the street these days

[00:01:14] And when you can get gas

[00:01:16] You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways

[00:01:20] Rich man poor man either way American

[00:01:23] Shoved into the lost and found

[00:01:25] The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell

[00:01:28] With the next big meltdown

[00:01:30] I got remote control and a color TV

[00:01:33] I don't change channels so they must change me

[00:01:36] I got real close friends that will get me high

[00:01:38] They don't know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try

[00:01:41] I shouldn't bitch I shouldn't cry

[00:01:44] I'd start a revolution but I don't have time

[00:01:47] I don't know why I'm still a nice guy

[00:01:50] But I'm getting close to the borderline aha

[00:01:56] Close to the borderline hmm aha

[00:02:03] I thought I'd sacrifice so many things

[00:02:08] I thought I'd throw them all away

[00:02:14] I didn't think I needed anything

[00:02:18] But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay

[00:02:25] Oh wow wow wow wowowow

[00:02:45] I need a doctor for my pressure pills

[00:02:48] I need a lawyer for my medical bills

[00:02:50] I need a banker to finance my home

[00:02:53] Well I need security to back my loan

[00:02:56] It isn't new what I'm going through

[00:02:58] But everybody knows you got to break sometime

[00:03:02] Another night I fought the good fight gurl yeah

[00:03:05] Closer to the borderline aha

[00:03:10] Closer to the borderline I'm aha
