Artificial Heart

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
