[Verse 1]
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, 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

[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'
