Back On The Borderline Lyrics - Head Injuries - Midnight Oil

From the bar to the bedroom I'm swimming in the neon 

Lighted pictures of a redhead, plastic-coated 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
