Texty: Melissa Etheridge. Melissa Etheridge. Chrome Plated Heart.

I got a 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

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 lover's 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
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

Chrome plated heart
