The 77s
Tattoo (Live at Koininia Koffeehouse, 3/13/98)
[Intro]
All right. "Tattoo."
[Verse 1]
You're the one with the perfect skin
Unscarred by any passion
I'm the man who's wondering
If I'm just this year's fashion
If you say I'm written on your life
And your eyes are wide open
If you say I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin
[Chorus]
I said tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
[Verse 2]
Don't make me no promises
Don't wear a ring for me
'Cause you take it off your finger
When you think no one can see
Yes, I care if we are
Together in the end
If you say I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin
[Chorus]
I said tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo, yeah
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
[Bridge]
It doesn't have to be my name
It doesn't have to be my silhouette
You'll think of something
Use your own alphabet, bet, bet, bet, bet
People gonna ask questions
They gonna want a story
What are you gonna tell them?
Tell them about me
Tell them about me, me, me
[Verse 3]
I don't think that the perfect life
Is coming through without a ssss
If your inside is worth knowing
Then your outside reads like a map
This might hurt a little
Yeah, new lives begin with little pains
If you say I'm written on your soul
Then write, write, write, write, write, write me on my skin, yeah
[Chorus]
I said tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo me on
[Guitar Solo]
[Spoken: Mike Roe]
Thank you very much. Well, it's time to head on back to the ol' corral
[Outro]
Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Until
Happy trails (to you)
