Strum
D-DU-UDU
I got Elvis, on my elbow
and when I flex, Elvis talks.
I got hula girls, on the back of my leg
and she hulas, when I walk.
Speaking cherry red
Screaming electric green.
Purple mountain's majesty, really talk to me (talk to me babe).
Swap meet Sally, tramp stamp cat
mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo
(Tattoo, tattoo) show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo) so autobiographic!
Best believe that needle will hurt you
best deceive these true colors that follow one of your false virtues.
Here's a secret, to make you think
why is the crazy stuff we never said, poetry in ink.
Speak in day-glow red, Explodo paint
purple mountain's majesty show me you, I'll show you me.
Swap meet Sally, tramp stamp cat
mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo (whoo)
(Tattoo, tattoo) sexy dragon magic
(tattoo, tattoo) so very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo) got a hold on me
(tattoo, tattoo) you put a spell on me!
Uncle Danny, had a coal tattoo
He fought for the unions, some of us still do
On my shoulder is a number, of the chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win (everybody!
Swap meet Sally, tramp stamp cat
mousewife to momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo-tattoo
(Tattoo, tattoo) sexy dragon magic
(tattoo, tattoo) so very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo) got a hold on me
(tattoo, tattoo) you put a spell on me!
(Tattoo, tattoo) I'm in love with you
(tattoo, tattoo) show me, show me your
(Tattoo, tattoo) look at me, look at you!
(tattoo, tattoo) Whoa!
