Man On A String Lyrics - Heartbreak Pass - Giant Sand

Nothing but a cold floor 

Under my feet 

Outside 

the rain turns to sleet 

Nothing but a ghost 

knocking on my door 

All because you don't send me love 

Anymore 

Send me no more love 

It would only stand to make me sick 

Send me love no more 

I'd only get back in what I got out way too quick 

I knew a man 

who would like to talk a good game 

Words sweet as syrup pour out of him like rain 

One fateless night, fooling around downtown 

When that girl came in you cold hear the sap hit the ground 

Now I know a girl with a man on a string 

She loves to see how much he can take 

With a come on and a little heartache 

She swore she didn't need any more 

Than all she could take 

Nothing but a cold floor 

under my feet 

Outside the wind blows bitterly 

Nothing but a ghost knocking on my door 

All because you don't send me love 

Anymore 

Now I know a man 

with a girl on a string 

He likes to see how much she can take 

With a come on and a little heartbreak 

She swore she didn't need any more 

Than all she could take
