| Have you met my grandmother, covered in tattoos
|
| Addicted to graffiti since she’s 22
|
| Once they were fire-fierce pictures, dragons colored bright
|
| Now the colors faded, just blue guiding lines
|
| Once homesick sailors so young
|
| Out for the night having fun
|
| To show their buddies they’re so strong
|
| Tattooed with a heart that says «MOM»
|
| The body beautiful
|
| So show your mark
|
| The body beautiful
|
| Just show your mark
|
| An' her skin looks dirty, from the needles' ink
|
| Every outline moves under old wrinkled skin
|
| It was quite a fashion back in her younger days
|
| Now it’s gone full circle, young kids go the same way
|
| Do you ever get the strange need
|
| The needle, the ink makes you bleed
|
| The picture is permanently fixed
|
| Does a lifetime of doubt follow it?
|
| The body beautiful
|
| So show your mark
|
| The body beautiful
|
| Just show your mark
|
| Once homesick sailors so young
|
| Out for the night having fun
|
| To show their friends they are so strong
|
| Tattooed with a heart that says «MOM»
|
| The body beautiful
|
| So show your mark
|
| The body beautiful
|
| Just show your mark
|
| The body beautiful
|
| So show your mark
|
| (Make me bleed)
|
| The body beautiful
|
| Just show your mark |
