[Verse 1]

Ain't got no job, ain't got no smoke

He ain't got a car, his life's a joke

Living on the skids, thinks the world's just fine

Forgot what he did, dancin' on the breadline

[Pre-Chorus]

No one there to bind him

Nothin' to remind him

Nowhere left to find him

[Chorus]

Ooh, about to lose his lifeline

He's dancin' on the breadline

[Verse 2]

Forgot who he is, forgot who he was

Used to call the shots, now he can't connect the dots

Mmm, a mover and shaker, getting closer to his maker

Lower than a hemline, dancin' on the breadline

[Pre-Chorus]

No one there to bind him

Nothin' to remind him

Nowhere left to find him

Nowhere...

[Chorus]

Ooh, about to lose his lifeline

He's lookin' for a headline

Ooh, sniffin' up the white lines

He's dancin' on the breadline

He's dancin' on the breadline

[Bridge]

Watch him dance on the breadline

Watch him dance

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Ooh, about to lose his lifeline

He's lookin' for a headline

Ooh, sniffin' up the white lines

He's dancin' on the breadline

Ooh, about to lose his lifeline

He's dancin' on the breadline, yeah

[Outro]

No one, nothing, nowhere

Dancin' on the breadline

Dancin' on the breadline

He forgot and he ain't got nothin'
