Artificial Heart — текст песни (Soul Asylum)

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
