Chrome Plated Heart - Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge


Lyrics
I got a chrome-plated heart
I got wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart
I got angels crying from up above

And they got rust in their eyes

They got rust on their love

But I have learned to leave no stone unturned

And keep the wall against my back

And the love is real as the day is long

And the night is black

As black as night

I got a two dollar stare

Midas in my touch and Delilah in my hair
I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes

With this red hot fever and these chromium blues

And I will feel another lovers wheel

And drive for miles and not look back

And the love is real as the day is long

And the night is black

As black as night


On my chrome-plated heart

Wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart
I got angels crying from up above

And they got rust in their eyes

They got rust on their love

And the only way I know where the train will go

Is when I'm sleeping on the tracks

And the love is real as the day is long

And the night is black

As black as night

And the night is black

As black as night
