String Pull Job
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
