作词 : Elton John/Bernie Taupin
作曲 : Elton John/Bernie Taupin

Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy

I can hound you if I need to
Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe
In the corner, in the corner
While the others climb reaching dizzy heights
The worlds in front of me in black and white
Im on the bottom line, Im on the bottom line

Id have a cardiac if I had such luck
Lucky losers, lucky losers landing on skid row
Landing on skid row
While the diamond jims
And the kings road pimps
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes
Im on the bottom line, Im on the bottom line

And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no pain
No regret, no regret
When the lines been signed
Youre someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest

Shake a hand if you have to
Trust in us and we will love you anyway, anyway
Don't leave us stranded in the jungle
With fifty percent that'll hard to handle
Aint that so, aint that so

And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no pain
No regret, no regret
When the lines been signed
Youre someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
