    Borderline

    by: Miime

    Everything would turn out fine
    If we'd reach the borderline.
    Everything would be just fine if we'd...
    If we'd kill ourselves.
    Me and my girl,
    We got a plan:
    We go to Cape Canaveral
    And piss of if we can.
    We're on the hate-trip,
    Kidnapping a space-ship,
    Cause we are the kind of people
    Who ain't got no other choice.
    Me and my girl,
    We got a plan:
    We'll wipe out every.stupid.little.body
    If we can.
    I told her on the phone:
    We're ment to be left alone,
    We're the ones who god should better
    Leave alone to play together.
    Everything would turn out fine
    If we'd reach the borderline.
    Everything would be just fine if we'd...
    If we'd kill ourselves.
    Me and my girl,
    We got a gun,
    And I swear we're gonna use it
    When the showdown has begun.
    Oh sweetheart, don't you see?
    You had the time to believe me.
    Now you'd better hurry up
    To save us from ourselves.
    Everything would turn out fine
    If we'd reach the borderline.
    Everything would be just fine if we'd...
    If we'd kill ourselves.
    This goes on until I die,
    Things will never change.
    This won't stop until I die,
    Life always goes on like this.
    Everything would turn out fine
    If we'd reach the borderline.
    Everything would be just fine if we'd...
