Lyrics Metal Eye - The Golden Palominos

Metal Eye

You know what you’re doing
You know what this is about
You look in her metal eye
You kiss her platinum mouth
Like frozen chrome and mercury thigh
You kiss her mouth
As cold as a prize
She’s a dying machine
So bless her skin
And bless the nightmare she’s living in
Open your mouth
All that comes is desire
She wants to die with her eyelashes on fire
She hides her star and turns her ring around
She hides her wires when she goes underground
She knows what she’s doing
She’s almost done
You think this is tragedy
She thinks this is fun
I’m dead inside
She’s the girl you don’t understand
She’s the girl with the see-through hands
When she was born there must have been a spark
But there’s nothing there now in her cold chrome heart
She watches you flourish
She listens to you fall
She sees you scrawl your love in blood on the wall
She bites the bullet
So watch it go off
And watch it explode
In her platinum mouth
You know what you’re doing
You know what this is about
You look in her metal eye
You kiss her platinum mouth
Like frozen chrome and mercury thigh
You kiss her mouth
As cold as a prize
I’m dead inside
Don’t bother peeking at what’s under her dress
You should know by now she gets by with less
Your last night together desire arrives like a terrorist
When flesh meets metal all that breaks is the fist
When she was born there must have been a spark
But there’s nothing there now in her cold chrome heart
She bites the bullet
So watch it go off
And watch it explode
In her platinum mouth
At 3,200 degrees platinum liquefies
Secretly, I’m dead inside
Let me kiss you, let me bless you
At 3,200 degrees, secretly, platinum liquefies
I’m dead inside
Let me kiss you, let me bless you
Secretly
I’m dead inside (Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
With her metal eye
(Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
I’m dead inside
She can’t cry
With her metal eye
(Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
I’m dead inside
(Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
I’m dead inside
Secretly
I’m dead inside (Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
Secretly
I’m dead inside (Let me kiss you, let me bless you)
