Herman Brood Tatoo Lyrics

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'r 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'r mama

keep her out of the blue

(what y're gonna tell
her)

You tell y'r ma: I did it for you



Chorus: 

(Skinpoppin' etc. +)

Y'r 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
