Zippy Yore - Tattoo Lyrics

When I was young and a fool,
I thought tattoos were cool.
The mind-blowing tattoo!
Give me one, or better two!

But now I'm older, and I see,
These tattoos aren't what they used to be.
Regret is etched into my skin,
Symbols of the dimwit I've been.

So that I don't feel blue,
Looking at what they drew.
Give me one, or better two!
A new mind-blowing tattoo!

The mind-blowing tattoo!
The mind-blowing tattoo!
Give me one, or better two!

Then I wanted to be distinct,
Thought it would come in ink.
Tried to be cool and brave,
Now I look like a Neanderthal cave.

Now I'm older, feeling blue,
Regretting the tattoos I drew.
Every inch, high and low,
Inked up from head to toe.

So that I don't feel blue,
Looking at what they drew.
Give me one, or better two!
A new mind-blowing tattoo!

The mind-blowing tattoo!
The mind-blowing tattoo!
Give me one, or better two!

Names of lovers from the past,
Seemed that love would ever last.
On my skin they've made their mark,
But the love has long gone dark.

Dragon, snake, and spider tattoo,
Guitar that once felt oh so new.
They all, which seemed bold and bright,
Now look like a tattoo artist's crime in the light.

So that I don't feel blue,
Looking at what they drew.
Give me one, or better two!
A new mind-blowing tattoo!

The mind-blowing tattoo!
The mind-blowing tattoo!
Give me one, or better two!

So take my advice, young lad,
Think before you go ink mad.
Don't end up like me, feeling sad,
With tattoos you'd later wish you never had!
