Píseň: String Pull Job

Interpret:
John Hiatt
Album:
Two Bit Monsters
Bring it in tight and cut to her face
Fade up the lights 'till it wipes out the place
Put on your pants cause she's put out a trace on you


She's found a future it's been localized


Brought out the sutures and clamps for your eyes
Made the incision and no one's suprised but you


[Chorus:]
String pull job
Nobody's finer
She's got you sewn up
With the one-liners
She's doin that jerk
She's doin that jerk
She's pulling it tighter


You aim the projector away from the screen
It doesn't affect her she's seen through the scene
Throwin' out lines 'till she finds one that means you'll do


You're thinking of sins so you can confess


But who's gonna come in and clean up the mess
When she takes a bow and you take off the dress OOOh ooooh


[Chorus]


String pull job
String pull job
String pull job
String pull job
Jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk
