From the recording The Badlees
Lyrics
TEN TON HEART
She said "Say what you want to say
We're locked in here anyway"
She said "Do what you want to do
There's no one here stopping you"
And I'm waiting...
CHORUS
You got a 10 ton heart in your chest
But all you do is carry it around
Looking for the perfect place
I guess
Just to put it down
You got 10 ton heart in your chest
But no matter what you're trying to sell
I know you too well
I said, "How can you overcome
Your own means of survival?"
She laughed and she said
"Which one? You could do
Without one or two"
And I'm waiting....
CHORUS
I got a 10 ton heart in my chest
But all I do is carry it around
Looking for the perfect place
I guess
Just to put it down
I got 10 ton heart in my chest
But no matter what I'm trying to sell
she knows me too well
BRIDGE
You're lying through your teeth
But only to yourself
While all the words beneath
Are drinking to your health
And I'm waiting....
CHORUS
I got a 10 ton heart in my chest
But all I do is carry it around
Looking for the perfect place
I guess
Just to put it down
I got 10 ton heart in my chest
But no matter what I'm trying to sell
she knows me too well
she knows me too well
she knows me too well
