[Verse 1]
Borderline, oh, borderline, won't let me through
Borderline, oh, borderline, the family knew
Can't cross without a cause, won't leave without a clause
Borderline, oh, borderline, will do the same to you too
[Verse 2]
Messenger, oh, messenger, where is our news?
Messenger, we've waited days to hear from you
You've brought us no report; you came alone before before
Messenger, oh, messenger, we're alone too
[Verse 3]
Borderline, oh, borderline, won't let me through
Borderline, oh, borderline, the family knew
Can't cross without a cause, won't leave without a clause
Borderline, oh, borderline, will do the same to you too
Borderline, oh, borderline, will do the same to you too
