Live 07 May 1993 version
[Spoken intro:] I'd like to uh, take a minute and uh, thank everyone for coming down the show tonight, thank you. This our first time in Gijón. And uh, ??? say uh, uh, los españoles ??? de corazón. ??? España. ???. All fucked up Bueno. This is called "Across The Borderline".
Give me more guitar.
There's a land where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
There's a lesson you must learn
You could lose more than you ever hoped to find
When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret that no one can define
The river roll on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
And when you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you'll know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
Hay un lugar donde me han dicho
Todas las calles son hechas de oro
Al otro lado de la frontera
Y cuando te toca
Debes aprender una leccion
Podrias perder m s que nunca esperabas encontrar
Y cuando llegas al paraiso descrito
Donde los suenos se te caen de las manos
Sabras que es tarde para cambiar tus deseos
Porque pagaste tanto para llegar tan lejos
Solo para terminar en esta tierra
Al otro lado de la frontera
And you're still just across the borderline
And you're still just across the borderline
The above lyrics are for the live 07 May 1993 performance of ACROSS THE BORDERLINE at Estadio Municipal El Molinón in Gijón, Spain, during the World Tour 1992-1993. The song was played in a slow full-band arrangement and featured a final verse in Spanish.
