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
