See the office, see the phone Call the number, no one home

Take a powder, have to think

Now the question, where to drink

He's a number nine man with a price on his head

A smile on his mirror and a sag in his bed



Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - (ah!)



Take an evening, that's his style

Likes to boogie, style a while

Make it easy, piece of meat

Now the question, got no feet



He's a silicone man with a lump on his face

A stain on his shirt and a rat in the race



Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - (ah!)



He never thought that he'd be number nine

But now he's in it, he's doing fine

Where he's going he doesn't know

But where it's showing he's never slow



Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - (ah!)



See the jacket, up for sale

Takes the ante, save the whale

There's a call out, sprung again

Now the question, he don't know who to blame



Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - (ah!)



Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - all night

Man in the middle - all (way?)

Man in the middle - left right

Man in the middle - that's right

Man in the middle - all night

Man in the middle - (left right)
