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
