Herman Brood – Tatoo lyrics

Tattoo (Brood)

Beauty today is only skin deep
Temptation is strong
& the job ain't cheap
I've seen the spike
Up & down my arm
Sailor's graves & tattooed snakes
& broken hearts
Workin' like a charm

Chorus:
Skinpoppin' skyboppin'
Baby let the needle burn
Skydivin' mainlinin'
It's the point of no return

Get y'rself a tattoo
Don't think twice
You show it off in the disco, at school
Around the corner, ain't no lie
Goin' down the road
With a pistol in my hand
Johnny Tattoo is lookin' for you

Chorus:
(Skinpoppin' etc. +)
You never ever gonna regret
You've got a tattoo
(what y're gonna tell her)
You tell y'are baby: I did it for you

Got it under my skin
For the rest of my life
I don't mind, I show it off
Around the neighbourhood
Ain't no lie
I've seen the spike
Up & down my arm
Sailor's graves & tattooed snakes
& broken hearts
Workin' like a charm

Chorus:
(Skinpoppin' etc. +)
Hey honey don't tell y'are mama
Keep her out of the blue
(what y're gonna tell her)
You tell y'are ma: I did it for you

Chorus:
(Skinpoppin' etc. +)
Y'are lover will discover some day
You've got a tattoo
(what y're gonna tell her)
You just tell her: honey, I did it for you
