Eleni Mandell Nickel Plated Man lyrics

With a lousy little grand, he'd pay off everyone he owed
Drive the fleet-side, take the stake-bed
Cafe handlebars, my brushed chrome
Wrap his ring around my finger with a tire iron

There's too much money in the world
For my Nickel Plated Man
I love him

Now stop going 'round with those sleazy little pigeons
Hanging from a slack wire but sweet, my little dove
Looking for a good time, a bite to eat
And strutting 'round on those pigeon feet

There's too much money in the world
For my Nickel Plated Man

I love him, I love him

I hear them coming for the bottles in the late night, early morn
I never even read the paper 'cause they took it from my door
And I hardly took the trash out
Now they're coming back for more

Oh, there's too much money in the world
There's too much money in the world
There's too much money in the world
For my Nickel Plated Man
I love him, I love him, I love him
