Tattoo

(album: Downside Up - 2004)

When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Colour me

Tattooed on the inside
Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me

Something fierce along my spine
To scare the madman from behind
Fortify my arms with some snake-like lines
Colour me, colour me

Like a stomach split in half
By a surgeon's cutting art
Colours me, colours me, colours me

When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door

Tattooed on the inside
A lonely feeling
Inoculating
Colours me

Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
