Tatoo Lyrics - Herman Brood

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
