"Chrome Plated Heart" lyrics
"Chrome Plated Heart"
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
Mm

Little River Band - "Down On The Border" I just got back
From the border
And what I saw
Made me know for sure
We're out of order
I had a dream
About New Orleans
At Jackson Square
I heard a prayer
Down to New Orleans
On the run
There's...
Natalie Merchant - "Where I Go" Climbing under
A barbed wire fence
By the railroad ties
Climbing over
The old stone wall
I'm bound for the riverside
Well, I go over to the river
To soothe my mind
To ponder over
The crazy days...
Carole King - "Smackwater Jack" Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
He just let it all hang loose
He didn't think about the noose
He couldn't take no more abuse
So he shot...

In Oak Cliff
With my bra
Watchin' some cars go by
A lady with a baby
With only one shoe
Walks by
Baby on her shoulder
Has his mouth open
More than his eyes
Where's his...
Rita Coolidge - "The Way You Do The Things You Do" You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And...
