Ain't got no job 

Ain't got no smoke 

Ain't got a car 

His life's a joke 

Living on the skids 

Thinks the world's just fine 

Forgot what he did 

Dancing on the breadline 

No one there to bind him 

Nothing to remind him 

Nowhere left to find him 

About to lose his lifeline 

He's dancing on the breadline 

Forgot who he is 

Forgot who he was 

Used to call the shots 

Now he can't connect the dots 

A mover and shaker 

Getting closer to his maker 

Lower than a hemline 

Dancing on the breadline 

No one there to bind him 

Nothing to remind him 

Nowhere left to find him 

About to lose his lifeline 

He's looking for a headline 

Sniffing up the white lines 

He's dancing on the breadline 

Watch him dance 

About to lose his lifeline 

He's looking for a headline 

Sniffing up the white lines 

He's dancing on the breadline 

About to lose his lifeline 

He's dancing on the breadline 

No one, nothing, nowhere 

Dancing on the breadline 

He forgot and he ain't got nothing
