MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS - Chrome Plated Heart

"Chrome Plated Heart"



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



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

And the night is black

As black as night
