the walls are painted
different every second
my eyes are of chrome
it is television
can’t let go of my leg
it’s itching and bleeding
layer by layer
I’m peeling away
burn down my house
and make something happen
stab me in the heart
and make something stop
‘cause I am so distracted
I am slightly shocked
by how things can keep going
like a dead man’s clock
a mirror is hanging
kinda loose on my wall
I’m passing it sideways
I’m saying hello
my brother is halfways
through a book I’ve left him
called me today
to see what I’d say
(chrome)
Chrome, She can see herself In the shiny grill and the
Wire wheels of a red Chevelle with four on the floor and the top down
Chrome, zippin’ by on an Electra Glide
With dual tail pipes doin’ 105 in the broad daylight
On a two-lane headin’ outta town
Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain’t no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome
Chrome, got her leg up high
on the bumper of my big black Mack truck
With a smoke stack pointed towards the sky
And mud flaps, you know the kind
Chrome,I said hey little girl you sure look nice
Do you wanna ride, I won’t bite, she climbs inside
Says hell no, I want to drive
Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain’t no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome
It’s chrome alright Shiny, nice, polished
Chrome, Chrome
Forget Pink and purple paisleys
Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain’t no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome
Her favorite color is…chrome
That girl is all about chrome
She sure loves chrome
You always were teh special one
The breath of air, the heap of fun
You always had a kind of light
That might dismay, or might delight
I thought abou tall along
I used to doubt you
Guess i was wrong
Now you shine like chrome
You’re a star and bold like chrome
And from Tokyo to Rome
We’re all aware of you
Now you shine like chrome
Your so hard and cold like chrome
And i’d like to take you home
But i’m scared of you
It’s nice to see you looking well
I know your age but i won’t tell
You always had a kind of glow
You’re luminous
But i guess you know
I see it clearly
You’re gonna shine
I never really thought you’d be mine
Now you shine like chrome
You’re a star and bold like chrome
And from Tokyo to Rome
We’re all aware of you
Now you shine like chrome
Your so hard and cold like chrome
And i’d like to take you home
But i’m scared of you
