On the line again[close to the bone]


* 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
Were going to put on the dog, were going to do it up right
Better put me in a cage, Im feeling good and full of fight
You better take my picture quick, Im going to jump out of sight

Why thats 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 youre drinking alone
If you dont know it I can tell you
When youre close to the bone

Youre on the line again
Now I can place your face
Brain food down the drain, I recognise the place
Youre on the line again
Youre far away from home
Youre wearing the signs that say youre 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, theres a cancer in my head
My magnetisms fading, cant 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 theyve grown
Feel your face in the dark, feel it close to the bone

Youre on the line again, and its not nice to hurt
Put a lot of love into your life and put that love to work
Youre on the line again, perhaps you could meet someone
Whod 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
Youll be my inspitation
To the left and to the right
Funk is our salivation

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Tom Tom Club is an American musical duo formed in 1980 by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, bassist and drummer respectively for the Talking Heads. The project emerged as a parallel collaboration to the main group, exploring more electronic and dance-oriented sounds. Their self-titled debut album in 1981 was both a critical and commercial success, with tracks like "Wordy Rappinghood" becoming radio hits. Throughout the 1980s, Tom Tom Club continued to release successful albums, collaborating with artists such as David Byrne and Nile Rodgers. Their sound, characterized by funky rhythms, synthesizers, and ironic lyrics, has influenced genres such as new wave, electropop, and dance music. Among their most representative tracks are "Genius of Love", "Burning Down the House" (a cover of the Talking Heads), and "Don't Talk to Me About Love".
