Tattoo Lyrics - A Different Kind Of Truth - Van Halen

Tattoo, tattoo 

I got Elvis on my elbow. 

When I flex, Elvis talks. 

I got hula girls on the back of my leg. 

And she hulas when I walk. 

Screaching cherry red 

Screamin' electric green 

Purple mountain's majesty 

Really talk to me. Talk to me, babe. 

Swap meet Sally 

Tramp stamp tat 

Mousewife to bombshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo. 

Tattoo, tattoo

Show me your dragon magic. 

(Tattoo, tattoo) 

So very autobiographic. 

Best believe that needle won't hurt you. 

Best to see these true colors, than to follow one of your false virtues. 

Here's a secret to make you think: 

Why is the crazy stuff we never say, poetry in ink? 

Speaking little red 

Ex photo pink 

Purple mountain's majesty 

Show me you, I'll show you me.

Tattoo, tattoo. 

(Tattoo, tattoo) 

Sexy dragon magic. 

(Tattoo, tattoo) 

So very autobiographic. 

(Tattoo, tattoo) 

Got a hold on me. 

(Tattoo, tattoo) 

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 the number 

of the chapter he was in. 

That number is forever 

like the struggle here to win. 

(Everybody!)

Let me take a look at you.
