《Close to the Borderline》歌词

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

[00:00:20] The buns drop dead and dogs go mad

[00:00:24] In packs on the West Side

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

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

[00:00:33] '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

[00:00:42] 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

[00:00:50] 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

[00:01:02] Close to the borderline

[00:01:09] A buck three eighty

[00:01:10] Won't buy you much lately on the street these days

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

[00:01:15] You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways

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

[00:01:22] Shoved into the lost and found

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

[00:01:27] With the next big meltdown

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

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

[00:01:35] 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 b***h I shouldn't cry

[00:01:43] I'd start a revolution but I don't have time

[00:01:48] I don't know why I'm still a nice guy

[00:01:49] But I'm getting close to the borderline

[00:01:55] Close to the borderline

[00:01:59] I thought I'd sacrifice so many things

[00:02:06] 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

[00:02:26] I need a doctor for my pressure pills

[00:02:47] I need a lawyer for my medical bills

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

[00:02:52] I need security to back my loan

[00:02:55] It isn't new what I'm going through

[00:02:57] But everybody knows you got to break sometime

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

[00:03:03] But I'm getting closer to the borderline

[00:03:06] Closer to the borderline
