Lyrics for Chrome Plated Suicide

If all my dreams were a tidal wave And every day was Christmas We could spend our lives in the drip At the edge of the world 'Cause love is something that you can't see It's like telepathic surgery And it cuts and scrapes Just like Iggy Pop thrown in a hole If you take away my nerves And leave just my words Love would be the best thing In the world You and me in a chrome reflection We were born to suffer some Please don't chase me from this jail You know it looks so nice If all my dreams were a microwave And every day was summer When I feel this way You know we should start our own religion If you take away my nerves And leave just my words Love would be the best thing In the world And if you take away my pain Please don't leave my brain 'Cause when I think It hurts just the same And if you take away my pain Please don't leave my brain 'Cause when I think It hurts just the same
