Tom Tom Club - ON THE LINE AGAIN [CLOSE TO THE BONE] lyrics

* TENTATIVE TRANSCRIPTION ONLY! : Can YOU help to complete it?

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Dark sneak love action on a Friday night

We're going to put on the dog, we're going to do it up right

Better put me in a cage, I'm feeling good and full of fight

You better take my picture quick, I'm going to jump out of sight

Why that's a cool million, wow, taking in the view

Life is but a dream, not about what you do

With your blow and your juice and now you're drinking alone

If you don't know it I can tell you

When you're close to the bone

You're on the line again

Now I can place your face

Brain food down the drain, I recognise the place

You're on the line again

You're far away from home

You're wearing the signs that say you're close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

You try to gain a toe-hold, you dig in your heels

Make believe you never worry how to pay for your meals

Edges are eroding, there's a cancer in my head

My magnetism's fading, can't get out of the red

I see you sitting there in your electric blue suit

Shady money men no longer think you are cute

You pass the kids in the park and look how they've grown

Feel your face in the dark, feel it close to the bone

You're on the line again, and its not nice to hurt

Put a lot of love into your life and put that love to work

You're on the line again, perhaps you could meet someone

Who'd show you how to have it all, have fun close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Glass partitions in your thinking cap shatter

Canned music thickened ??? gathered

Hair line fracture visible to anyone

Getting wider by the hour, living close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Living close to the bone, close to the bone

Animate your backside

You'll be my inspitation

To the left and to the right

Funk is our salivation
