[Verse 1]
Fallen like a hammer on a solitary ark
It struck a nail and now we'll never be apart
Just a shadow on the wall
And I curse the ground beneath my feet
Curse the boiling sea
Curse the stars above my head
For staring back at me
Damn the whip that cracked and split
Damn the hand behind it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wait for me by my gallows pole
Hang around, I won't be long

[Chorus]
Borderline
Gets me out alive
When it rains
I am right where I belong

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry but the voice inside my head won't let me go
I know you won't forgive me for the things you'll never know
Come back to me, sweet Armageddon
Hurry up and find me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wait for me by the iron rail
Hold on

[Chorus]
Borderline
Gets me out alive
When it rains
I am right where I belong

[Bridge]
Across the borderline
The architect stunned by his design
I never fell so hard
You'll be the axe, I'm your hesitation marks

[Chorus]
Borderline
Gets me out alive
When it rains
Boy, it really rains
