Black Tattoo Lyrics - Flesh For Lulu

Your kind of violence is so hard to learn 

Just a slap in the face no fireworks 

Fake it fake it for everybody else 

Come on don't keep it all for yourself 

Oh no no no 

I watched the cowboy ride the train 

Across the Rio Grande to Brixton 

From the wild wild west to the deep deep south 

He takes a handful of pills and puts them in his mouth 

And when the lamp light shines across the room 

And touches her black tattoo 

Well she knows she's got to live with it now 

And you live as long as you want to 

Standing around wondering how she's ever gonna keep her looks 

She'll be history soon enough 

I bet we never write that book 

So tell me will you be sat on your own 

Looks like a ghost of someone I once knew 

And the map of your skin 

Still drives me insane 

You thought I was in pain 

I will colour you black and blue 

No true cynic will have a lucky number 

A dice is still their vice 

I tell ya every clouds gotta silver lining 

And everyone has his price 

Tell me what could be worse 

Than your own bitter rants 

Shes ??? 

Your favourites got no friends 

Im ??? 

And the beating never ends 

When I see you 

I see black and blue 

Oh give me your skin 

And I will colour you in 

If there's one thing 

I know it's true 

Black tattoo is nothing new 

Black tattoo is nothing new 

Give me your skin 

Want you give me your skin 

I want to clour you in once again 

Black Tattoo 

I want to colour you in 

I will colour you in
