They gave me a test to make me the best that I could be
|
They knew all along that there was something wrong with me
|
We picked out a spot and made a hole
|
Wire and glass and stainless steel
|
Now I can imagine how I'd feel
|
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new artificial heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It is a real artificial heart
|
|
There's blood on the bed but here in my head I'm feeling fine
|
It's easy to sleep when I'm not buzzing all the time
|
So funny the way I was before
|
Once I was blind but now I see
|
Once I was him but now he's me
|
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new artificial heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It is a real artificial heart
|
|
You're happy again I nod and pretend to think it through
|
I don't need to think at all if I don't care for you
|
It's not an emergency for me
|
I look at the walls and they go clear
|
I cover my eyes and disappear
|
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new heart
|
I got a new artificial heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It's not a real heart
|
It is a real artificial heart
|
