Lyrics
Tattoo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Colour me, colour me.
When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit there watching the door,
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
Already feel ill, Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your calf,
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
Something fits along my spine,
Just givin' lovin' from behind,
Fortify my arms (x2)
Cover me, cover me.
Cover me, cover me.
(Repeat whole thing X2)
