Herman Brood - Tattoo Song
3x
Beauty today is only skin deep
Temptation is strong and the job ain t cheap
I ve seen the spike up and down my arm
Sailor s graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin like a charm
Chorus:
Skinpoppin skyboppin baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
Skydivin mainlinin it s the point of no return
Get yourself 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 skyboppin baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
Skydivin mainlinin it s the point of no return (main sky)
You never ever gonna regret you ve got a tattoo (what you re gonna tell her)
You tell your baby: I did it for you
3x
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 and down my arm
Sailor s graves and tattooed snakes & broken hearts
Workin like a charm
Chorus:
Skinpoppin skyboppin baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
Skydivin mainlinin it s the point of no return (main sky)
Hey honey don t tell your mama keep her out of the blue (what you re gonna tell her)
You tell your ma: I did it for you
Chorus:
Skinpoppin skyboppin baby let the needle burn
Skydivin mainlinin it s the point of no return
Your lover will discover some day, you ve got a tattoo (what you re gonna tell her)
You just tell her: honey, I did it for you
