Tattoo Lady
Tattoo Lady
I am the canvas
A portrait in madness
I let the needle prick my skin
I am the painting
A story in waiting T
urn on the buzz And let the ink kick in
[CHORUS]
'Cause it show time
I'm the painted lady
The circus freak
It's no crime
To gaze at the spectacle
Of my physique
There is a serpent
Drawn with current
Wrapping around my calf, my thigh
A likeness of Moses
In a sea of roses
Holding his staff up to the sky
"Ladies and Gentlemen,
Boys and girls of all ages!
A spectacle for the eyes!
The Tattoo Lady Will light the fuse Of the Human Cannonball!"
And the lights go down
And there's not a sound
It's just another crowd
It's just another town
There is a gangster
He is a prankster
Holding a pistol And a necklace charm
There is dancer On my shoulder
I can hold her
When I close my arms
