Close to the Borderline - Billy Joel[00:00:00]
Written by:Billy Joel[00:00:01]
Blackout heatwave 44 caliber homicide[00:00:16]
The buns drop dead and the dogs go mad[00:00:22]
In packs on the west side[00:00:24]
The young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide[00:00:27]
She wants to hit those bricks[00:00:32]
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline[00:00:34]
While the millionaires hide in beekman place[00:00:37]
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face[00:00:40]
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound[00:00:43]
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down[00:00:45]
Life is tough but it's just enough[00:00:48]
To hold back the tears until it's closing time[00:00:51]
I survived I'm still alive[00:00:55]
But I'm getting close to the borderline[00:00:57]
Aha close to the borderline aha oh[00:01:01]
A buck three eighty[00:01:09]
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days[00:01:11]
And when you can get gas[00:01:14]
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways[00:01:16]
Rich man poor man either way American[00:01:20]
Shoved into the lost and found[00:01:23]
The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell[00:01:25]
With the next big meltdown[00:01:28]
I got remote control and a color TV[00:01:30]
I don't change channels so they must change me[00:01:33]
I got real close friends that will get me high[00:01:36]
They don't know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try[00:01:38]
I shouldn't bitch I shouldn't cry[00:01:41]
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time[00:01:44]
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy[00:01:47]
But I'm getting close to the borderline aha[00:01:50]
Close to the borderline hmm aha[00:01:56]
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things[00:02:03]
I thought I'd throw them all away[00:02:08]
I didn't think I needed anything[00:02:14]
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay[00:02:18]
Oh wow wow wow wowowow[00:02:25]
I need a doctor for my pressure pills[00:02:45]
I need a lawyer for my medical bills[00:02:48]
I need a banker to finance my home[00:02:50]
Well I need security to back my loan[00:02:53]
It isn't new what I'm going through[00:02:56]
But everybody knows you got to break sometime[00:02:58]
Another night I fought the good fight gurl yeah[00:03:02]
Closer to the borderline aha[00:03:05]
Closer to the borderline I'm aha[00:03:10]
Closer to the borderline I'm I'm I'm[00:03:15]
Closer to the borderline ai ai ai ai ai ai ai aha[00:03:20]
Closer to the borderline to the borderline ai ai[00:03:31]
