Chrome Plated Heartl
Written by: Melissa Ethridge


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 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 dance in time and the times are rough
And I'll pay the price and I'll pray that it's enough
Outside the door, where it always rains
I'll take the time and 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
