Chrome Plated Heart - Melissa Etheridge

I got a chrome-plated heart

Wings on these fingers

Trying to tear it apart

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

And I’ll dance in time

And the times are rough

And I’ll pay the price

And I’ll pray that it’s enough

And just outside the door

Where it always rains

I’ll take the time to polish

These scratches and these stains

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

The night is black

As black as night

Chrome-plated heart

Mmh…
