Back On The Borderline - Midnight Oil

From the bar to the bedroom 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 signature of nightmares

They’re stolen by the thief

I’m back on the borderline

Yes I’m back on the borderline

By the end make a bet and only place is laminex

Laugh a lot cry a lot salt and pepper supper sex

And sometimes when that magic of the moment

Fails the test

In retrospect that diamond 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

(James/Garrett/Hirst)
