Tattoo

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
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
The tattoos on the inside
A lonely feeling
Inoculating
Colours me
Slap your thigh, slap your calf
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
