Tattoo Lyrics

[00:24.66] When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor
[00:29.56] There's something uncontrollable
[00:32.23] As you sit there watching the door
[00:38.94] Colour me
[00:43.94]
[00:46.55] Tattooed on the inside
[00:50.72] Slap your thigh, slap your calf
[00:55.47] Sing your mantra, leave your mark
[01:02.48] Colour me
[01:07.60] Something fierce along my spine
[01:12.14] To scare the madman from behind
[01:16.78]
[01:26.11] Fortify my arms with some snake-like lines
[01:35.87] Colour me
[01:38.17] Colour me
[01:40.28] Colour me
[01:59.38] Like a stomach split in half
[02:04.03] By a surgeon's cutting art
[02:08.80] Colours me
[02:11.14] Colours me
[02:18.21] Colours me
[02:25.58]
[02:27.62] When you're sitting all alone
[02:32.44] In the middle of the floor
[02:37.44] There's something uncontrollable
[02:41.94] As you sit there watching the door
[02:49.46]
[02:56.61] The tattooes on the inside
[03:01.16] A lonely feeling
[03:04.98] Inoculating
[03:08.06] Colours me
[03:12.59] Slap your thigh, slap your calf
[03:17.27] Sing your mantra, leave your mark
[03:24.55] Colour me
[03:25.21]
