[Intro: James Hetfield & Lars Ulrich]
Have you heard of a band called Thin Lizzy?
Okay? (Yeah)
Okay, here we go, ayy, yeah, God, help us all
One, two, three, one, two, three
[Verse 1: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur]
It's midnight in the big city
At the bar, drinkin' on my own
Just thinkin' 'bout that girl and me
How something's goin' wrong
Mister, tell me
What's my savin' grace?
The back room boys are all tellin' me
I'm a borderline case
[Chorus: James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur, James Hetfield]
Back on the borderline, one more time
Yes, I'm back on the borderline, one more time
[Verse 2: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur]
Seven beers and still sober
It's timе to change to somethin' stronger
I cannot takе this scene no longer
She could have told me it was over
Back in my hometown
The old place, it's still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
And you can't go back again no longer
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur, James Hetfield]
Back on the borderline, one more time
Yes, I'm back on the borderline, one more time
[Verse 3: James Hetfield]
Jeanie, can I tell you
The shame of my disgrace?
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case
[Chorus: James Hetfield, James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur]
Back on the borderline, one more time
Yes, I'm back on the borderline, one more time
[Outro: James Hetfield, Avi Vinocur, James Hetfield & Avi Vinocur]
I'm on my hands and knees (Back on the borderline)
One more time
Yes, I'm begging you, darling (Back on the borderline)
One more time
I'm back on the borderline, one more time
Thank you Phil Lynott for writing this song about my life, alright
That's how it happens, man
