Artificial Heart Lyrics by Soul Asylum

Artificial Heart Lyrics

    It's a second hand story no one wants to hear
    And it's wet with blood, salted with tears
    It's black and white and red all over
    Happens all the time

    This was something about an artificial heart

    She lived in a sleepy town trailer home park
    Where not many people go out after dark
    Innocent helpless at 17
    Queen of every loser's wet dream

    Which brings us to our villain but a mother could love
    He liked amputation and the lord above
    He kidnapped her on her way home from school
    She lost her mind, he lost his cool

    She didn't tell him about the artificial heart

    ?? then some kid found her head
    Then an arm and a leg and you know the rest they said
    The artificial heart it was still beating

    With a needle and a thread they sewed on her head
    She's alive and well like she was never dead
    She doesn't remember the day she didn't die
    Or how everybody cried

    She read a story in the paper how she was victimized
    And you should have seen the look in her eyes
    Her assailant was acquitted and as she read
    I swear she laughed off her head
