Tattoo
~Erlich
Certainly we are a pair, like a feather in a fist
You so desperate for attention, and me trying not to be noticed
The drama was brilliantly rich; nothing else existed in the thick of it
So full of power, so full of passion, so full of shit.
Now I see through your tattoo.
Clever, clever
You never could be satisfied
Even I get hungry sometimes, but you are by far the biggest pig I've ever tried
Now I see through your tattoo.
You were always so big into scenery and fixing it up on the outside
But beyond the wall you are two inches tall and shrinking down under a lie.
We try so hard to be pretty. We try so hard to be fine.
Dress it up and take it to the city
Seduce it with a cigarette and a bottle of wine
I figured out that you want a rodeo clown
And you want the good side of town
And you want high-fi stereo sound, well baby it aint me.
Now I see through your tattoo.
