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
