Whatever you think of me
I'm still your friend
So other than nothin' what's new
The water 's still flowin'
Through the rose on my skin
This here tattoo is for you
The boys at the parlor downtown
Didn't waste anytime puttin' it down
Time has been wastin' away I can see it
Go sailin' on by as it slips through my fingers
The bow and the wave never wait for tomorrow
They just keep on rollin' as straight as an arrow
Good night
Girl of my dreams
You get better each day
I wish I could see you somehow
Girls that I love is there no other way
This here tattoo is for now
I'd been out drinkin' all day
I got carried away at the parlor last night
This summer rose is for you it's no wonder
I bothered to wander back into the parlor
It's red and in bloom and it's more than one color
It lives on forever for just a few dollars
Good night
Whatever you think of me
I'm still your friend
So baby whatever you do
Now that it's taken its permanent home
This here tattoo is for you
The boys at the parlor downtown
Didn't waste any time puttin' it down
Time has been wastin' away, you know time doesn't
Wait for nobody to find what they're after
It just keeps on rolling on down the deep canyons
And through the green meadows into the broad ocean
Good night
Whatever you think of me
I'm still your friend
So other than nothin' what's new
The water's still flowing
Through the rose on my skin
This here tattoo is for you
The water's still flowin
Through the rose on my skin
This here tattoo is for you
Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'l be there when I die
Tattoo
My dad beat me 'cause mine said 'Mother'
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you
I know some black... stones in LA
Great street niggers crib nigger in a bay
GT... in Chicago
... caught me slipping at...
Bitches love money
Smoking on that chees
Drinking on that honey
Grab bottom
... Luis hit the jazz
All this temptation got me trippin now the devil steps
14... 2 left
... me and... go together like...
... tear drops in your mother tissue
[Chorus:]
If you are a killer put a tattoo on your face
Your color body put a tear drop on your face
You're a gangsta? Put a tattoo on your face
Real riders got tattoos any place
[Repeats]
Move... the serenade the street corner
He is sweet you better have a thing on you
... I hit you with the... from a cop named...
Adolescence... from Taliban
Mt best friend died he tattooed his name on me
A reminisce every time I blow...
She extraordinary wear... I'm in a space ship
Rolls wills cover up I'm about to double up
To triple up watch a pimp get his bitches up
Feel me
Two tear drop that's the double...
Sadness has filled a lonely place
Before that there was just a hole
At least now there's sadness on my face
My lower lip has finally found it's role
So the wind and the rain and the snow
Had no particular place to go
So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me
They're better friends than you could ever be
Chorus
There's a tattoo, a small tattoo
Waiting there unpaid for you
And if you ever bump into Unlucky
Don't forget who broke your heart in two
You better get there early, there's a million in the queue
Just waiting for the name on their tattoo
Emptiness has filled a vacant heart
Finally found a place for it to hide
And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar
Empty has become my greatest guide
And the tears and the pain and the despise
Looked at me through bankrupt eyes
They had nowhere else that they could land
So I invited them to take my bloody hand
Chorus
So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name
I ve been wondering night after night
When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain
And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right
From way back in time
A time more civilized
Nations decorate the skin
To express what's within
As a part of their culture
Like wisdom in a book
It wasn't just a fashion
It was art made with passion
Today still people say
Tattoos are for scum
But why be so affraid?
For so much beauty made
My skin is my canvas
My body, here it is
It's an open field for joy
See this needle, it's my toy
It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice
Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice
It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me
Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free
The ink which makes a tattoo
Doesn't infect common sense
It's a dignified creation
Why call that mutilation?
My skin is just a cover
The real me, it's inside
So if you wanna judge me
Look beyond and you'll see
It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice
Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice
It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me
Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free
From way back in time, till the day of today
Decoration of skin, the voice from within
It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice
Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice
It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me
Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free
I got Elvis on my elbow
When I flex, Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula's when I walk.

Uncle Danny had a coal tattoo
He fought for the union
Some of us still do
On my shoulder is the number
of the chapter he was in
that number is forever like

Sadness has filled a lonely place
Before that there was just a hole
At least now there's sadness on my face

And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right
B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me
I miss the days when you were in my world
It seems like it was a lifetime ago
We said our goodbye with tears
And promised to not let the years get away
But that's something you just have to say
In my pain
Is where I've tattooed your name
Was it a dream
Was it a dream
Going round and round and round and round your heart
Jeremy said he saw you out on second ave
And you looked like you could use some sleep
You told him you sobered up
But now you are giving that up
'cause sometimes
Love isn't stronger than wine
In my pain
Is where I've tattooed your name
Was it a dream
Was it a dream
Going round and round and round and round my heart
I wonder
What you must think about me
What I heard
Is you consider me dead
I guess that's fair of you
I never was good to you
I'm ashamed
For making you feel all my pain
When I sleep
Sometimes I still think we speak
Is it a dream
Is it a dream
Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'l be there when I die
Tattoo
My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
Cover [colour] me, cover [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.
Already feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your calf
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Cover me, cover me.
Something fits along my spine,
Just givin' lovin' from behind,
Fortify my arms (x2)
Cover me, cover me.

To you
I used to know this beauty brown eyes girl
she was the hottest thing around the world
I met her a billy's in my darkest hour
we had some beers, some tequilas we were troublebound
The next pretty baby got long black hairs
she's got legs that will never end
I saw her dancing - I was down & out
my breath was taken as she turned around
Anyway you want me - I'm doin' alright anyway you need me - I'm doin' fine
anyway you want me - anyway you need me who's the girl with the blue tattoo
Me and Tammy were the biggest fools
we got things going, got the right tools
we were close to heaven, the next minute in hell
lovin' every time of living, till the ice was melt
Anyway you want me - I'm doin' alright
anyway you need me - I'm doin' fine
anyway you want me - anyway you need me
can you tell me who's the girl with the blue tattoo
Downtown was fighting, we're standing close
Danny was clean, forget her cocaine nose
in the middle of danger, we're playing rough
you were out tonight for some heavy stuff
Anyway you want me - I'm doin' alright
anyway you need me - I'm doin' fine
anyway you want me - anyway you need me we're going down
Anyway you want me - I'm doin' alright
anyway you need me - I'm doin' fine
anyway you want me - anyway you need me
Another desperate call you're not around
I got a head so full of worry
cuz you're nowhere to be found
displaced and out of order I've been down
on my hands and knees so many nights
crawling around this place for days
well I know you heard me say it all before
I can bleed myself so many times
before I start to doubt
but this time I'm gonna let it go
you're way too far away
and I got too much that I wanna say
and now I'm hangin on to every word
I never said to you
here in this phone booth
guess I'll wait around and pay my dues
tonight I got a new best friend
chemical inebriation
I'm passin time without you all alone
I was never one for patience
I was never one for trust
I'm a little bit neurotic so
ignore me if you must
this brain of mine won't let me let it go
I'm not gonna let you get away
[Originally by Rancid]
Well I heard you say I need something
About friendship that loyalty's the weapon of the weak
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
That the tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
When we met you listened and you questioned
Every single thing that I did
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
That the tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
Well I borrowed some courage from you
Through confusion I've made it this far
You said I could have had everything
If I just looked at myself
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
Testing my faith again
Breaking the will of man
Deny all my saviors
No answers for prayers
Im all alone no turning back this time
Trapped in a cell that denies
Oppose the rise
Acts of free thought free the mind
Seek no redemption
My hates on a mission
Find the one way destruct inside
Sunshine moonlight
Stars soar in a violent sky
Condemning life with no meaning
Fell so question the thoughts
That imply stand arise
Seeds of hatred boil deep inside
My will has grown weak
To find the path that i seek
Losing my way on a path of destruction
Realease me
No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire, sooner or later
I get what I'm asking for
No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger, soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
I'll always have you
I'll always have you
Sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I've gotta be strong
And leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
I'll always have you
If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
There's still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do
Can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Can't waste time so give it a moment
I realized nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once and I needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
You got a Unicorn,
Butterfly,
Angel Wings,
Inner Thigh

Shame up till today I was doin' fine
In the mailbox was a letter
From a girl I left behind
And how she's back in town to stay
Well a long time ago she took my sanity
Came all the way from Memphis
To live next door to me
Besides the pain it's driving me insane
There's no way I can make her understand
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
She's got my name
She's got my name
Tattooed on the back side of her frame
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me
Diggin' in my garbage for a piece of me
All she found were some dirty rubbers
And a beat up pair of jeans
Mentally she's not all there
What should I do or where should I go
Should I find a little cabin up in Boise Idaho
And hibernate till that strange lame dame goes away
There's no way I can make her understand
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
She's got my name
She's got my name
Tattooed on the back side of her frame
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me
There's no way I can make her understand
And I found out why it's hidden behind her pants
She's got my name (She's got my name)
She's got my name (She's got my name)
Tattooed on the back side of her frame
She's got my name (She's got my name)
She's got my name (She's got my name)
Tattooed on the back side of her frame
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah!
She's got my name (She's got my name)
She's got my name (Well she's got my name)
Tattooed on the back side of her frame
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me
No, no, no
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me
No!

Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
Like the names of me and you
In my skin indigo blue
Tattoo tattoo
Waving boys in navy blue
Whalers sailing home to you
Scratched in scrimshaw tusk and tooth
Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
These lines of love to you
Tattoo tattoo
The verse of life is blank I think
We fill in in invisible ink
It comes to sight, it surfaces
When held up to the light of love
Tattoo tattoo
Carney girls in summer suits
Local boys in leather boots
Diagrams of derring-do
Tattoo tattoo
Tattoo tattoo
Some things fade some never do
Like these lines of love to you
Tattoo tattoo
Like the names of me and you
In my skin indigo blue
[Originally by Rancid]
I heard you say something about friendship

And when you get get get get get realized
and tears come down and released
My love for you is true, a tattoo
and it ain't never coming off
I'll wait for the truth,its you

When we met you listened and you christened
every single thing that I did.
And when you get get get get get realized
and tears come down and released
Well I borrowed some courage from you
through confusion I made it this far,
you said I could have anything
if I just looked at myself... at myself
weather's great for the time of year
and i'm glad we can share being here
i tattoo you , you tattoo me
we restore our souls
we set off down
as summer leads the way
it rushes on us
it's more than a game
i tattoo you , you tattoo me
anyway
anyhow
interest in life is free
bring it on , bring it on
interest in life is free
bring it on , bring it on
interest in life is free
we put it down
every single curve
and every move that rocks us through this
i tattoo you , you tattoo me
we restore our souls

as summer leads the way
it rushes on us
it's more than a game
i tattoo you , you tattoo me
anyway

interest in life is free

are we never to have pleasure
never ever to have faith
never to let the imagination fulfil itself
whatever it takes?
are we never to have leisure
never ever to feel safe
never to let the imagination fulfil itself?
She comes home at 5:30
And though her clothes are never dirty
She'll change them just the same
She likes to keep her name
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
She's got a tattoo on her tummy
And her mummy plays Gin Rummy
Hey, you might think it's funny
But she's making all the money
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up, giving it up)
She keeps a silver armadillo
Well, hidden beneath her pillow
Now some think it's a cupie doll
But they've got such crazy minds
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
Oh, she has a unique technique
For making me obsolete, complete
She needs a beat, she needs it sweet
She needs it neat
She's giving it all up for love
(Up for love, up for love)
She's giving it all up for love
(Tattoo giving it up, giving it up)
She's giving it all up for love
Suddenly you can live without me, you're no longer calling me up.
Hours pass by without you, I can't stop myself from throwing up.
I'm woken up worrying will you come back I can't sleep in past eight.
Then when night comes around I'm desperate and wired and can't fall
asleep till late.
Chorus:
'Cause my psychotic vengeance is on a killing spree.
My neurotic tendence, is just about to set me free.
I think of little excuses, of how I can get to you.
I conjure up things that are abusive and how I'll be doing them to you
Just 'cause we can't pull through.
I want to call you up and cry to you and plead.
I want to kick you down, kick you till you bleed.
I will bash your face in, I will fuck you up the ass
i am gonna fuck your world up and dwell on
just the past.
Chorus:
'Cause my psychotic vengeance is on a killing spree.
My neurotic tendence, is just about to set me free.
I think of little excuses, of how I can get to you.
I conjure up things that are abusive and how I'll be doing them to you
god bless the next baffoon
I lost 15 pounds and dyed my hair black to be your perfect girlfriend.
But you left me for a blonde with meat on her bones who makes
mistakes now and then.
I find it quaint how you channel energy, it seems as though you use it,
on everything but me.
Watch how interesting I will react.
Don't question love, 'cause I swear I am so over that.
Chorus:
'Cause my psychotic vengeance is on a killing spree.
My neurotic tendence, is just about to set me free.
I think of little excuses, of how I can get to you.
I conjure up things that are abusive and how I'll be doing them to you
Let’s go get a tattoo
Yours will say you love me and mine will say “I love you”
Can’t think of anything to do
Can you?
We’ll write our names in the sand
We’ll draw a heart to encompass them
We’ll let the beach know where we stand because it’s permanent
I know, I know it’s cliché, but it’s true
I love you
Chorus:
I know with you that I’m always home
And I know I’ll never be alone
I know with you that I’m always home
All I want to say is, “Je suis ai aimé”
We’ll say we’ve never felt this way
We’ll put our love right on display
Too bad, so sad no one’s ever felt this way
That’s what we’ll say
I know, I know it’s cliché, but it’s true
I love you
(Double chorus)
I know, I know it’s cliché, but it’s true
I love you
Me and my brother were talkin' to each other
'Bout what makes a man, a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand
Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect, I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
Verse 1:
These days I feel it all
Every corner of my mind
The weekends at the mall
Your sunday morning calls
Walkin' through the park, happily as we go
That night we swore we had the nicest time so I
Knew you were the one, you had to be the one
Hoping you and I would never ever see wrong
Slowly you were hard to see
Who wouldn't I'se worry
You leavin' before my eyes
I'm telling you now I cannot lie
Chorus:
No matter how I try, oh
These memories wont let go
Inside of me much sorrow
And I cannot pretend, it's killing me, ya know?
Seems like I'll never find that time for moving on
Lord knows I'm only human
Can't help what I'm doin'
Trying to get by these memories of my own
Verse 2:
So unbelievably real this can't be happening
We've shared too much of us
Love I thought it was
But shame on silly me, for having such a heart of-
Care trust and harmony that's what I'm living for
I see no other road... that's what I've been told
At times I still deny- it wasn't meant to be, no
Slowly it can possibly
You're right, now, who am I joking?
You leaving before my eyes
I'll tell you again I cannot lie
Chorus:
No matter how I try, oh
These memories wont let go
Inside of me much sorrow
And I cannot pretend, it's killing me, ya know?
Seems like I'll never find that time for moving on
Lord knows I'm only human
Can't help what I'm doin'
Trying to get by these memories of my own
Bridge:
From now I'll tell myself I can do it
It won't be easy but I'll get through it
Just look ahead and put the past behind for me
And believe though my heart's been broken
Everything is gonna be all right
Chorus:
No matter how I try, oh
These memories wont let go
Inside of me much sorrow
And I cannot pretend, it's killing me, ya know?
Seems like I'll never find that time for moving on
Lord knows I'm only human
Can't help what I'm doin'
Trying to get by these memories of my own
[talking]
Damn girl, you got a tattoo right there
I like that, ooh shit, sexy than a motherfucker
Can I kiss that
[Chorus x2]
Is it on your chest (uh huh)
Is it on your back (uh huh)
Is it on your leg (uh huh)
Is it buy your cat (uh huh)
Where your tat, tat, tatty
Let me see your tattoo girl
Where your tat, tat, tatty
Let me see your tattoo girl
[Liffy Stokes]
Hey there shorty, what you working with
Let me see you pop that shit for daddy
That's shining blowing big pound out a pro caddy pick up
Diamonds flick up protect your tip tattoo bezel that lift up
Blinding them ?booshy? hoes
I bends through the Gucci store
Grinning, Sprewells spinning, but I'm standing still
Man trying to call up this zig-zotic hot mama out by the Ville then
I'm talking top flight, high priced brown sugar
With the curly butter, thick hips and all
With the easy-e kitty cat paws, tatted above her bra
When the Twist sat down by her draws
But I guess that leaves dust and all
Cause a man keeps on running off
Just dropping her cheese, but shorty got me's
Taking trips to the tat shop, come on the black top
Let her feel Anita while we sold b's
Cause you really gotta get greedy
Fish that pearl, and then show it off to the world
Thickness shorty got niggas out here screaming
Let me see your tattoo girl
[Chorus]
[Bennie Franks]
It's Mr. Fat, freaky, black, nasty and here for money grams
It's something bout a red bone tattoo, god damn
You need a cover up, X out your baby daddy name
Girl I know you love to fuck, just the way you took the pain
Check my name and Eddy came, oops I don't mean to be rude
I got a fetish for oops I mean I love some tattoos
Let's get up on a room, everything is on me
Ain't got an A and the ointment but I got some Vaseline
The Brandi, I can't stand it the way my mess
And let's get stranded, I kizzel my nizzel fa shizzel
My cameras handy, bumping to this shit type to break the walls down
In Miami, top notch swallow and keep the ostrich and get up
[Chorus x2]
[High Beam]
I guess you with me like a reeeeal
And then she suck me like a neckbone
I've been gone slap then I took the Milly that home
Since nobody needed to drive I'ma be the one they gone put it on
(did you know me daddy) Man I ain't even have to ask shorty
It was right before my eyes, tattoos on her chest
Snake wrapped around her legs all the way up to her thighs
Her size, scrumptious fulfilling the fantasy of me and my guys
When she pulled her pants down
Made me wanna buck she oh my, what a surprise
Man I'm hoping, she'll let a nigga get it wet I gets wild and open
Way too provoking, on the beach rubbing her body down with suntan lotion
What's that, another tat with the Playboy bunny by her cootie cat
Got one going in the crack of her ass
But she can't really see cause her booty fat
Girl you don't know what I'd do to that
got limo scrapes ride the butter crack
Put Legit Ballin all across your back, take that off and let me see that
[Chorus]
[Lenny Hooks]
Sip the cris and light the hydro
Spider chick across the dance flo'
Pimps like them tilt the kango
At the club she shotguns 6-0-0
Straight to the Mo' she came out, her clothes
Tattooed up like her nails ain't gold
I'm searching around like I'm 5-0
I can see my fantasy I'm so consumed in bed
What I see takes over me I'm blind beyond repair
It takes a hold of me so tight a breed that does not give
And when she's done she throws me out like junk left in a shelf
Yeah
I wanna have the right
I wanna feel the night
Around the stars
Wanna take a flight
Get back on my sights
Around the stars
I can see all my words I can feel the warming breeze
I can see through forests I can hear her breathe
Walking for a thousand miles I can see the road
and at the end i find I'm with her sharing eachs soul
Yeah
I wanna have the right
I wanna feel the night
Around the stars
Wanna take a flight
Get back on my sights
All round the stars
Walking a solo ride
trying to reunite
God I'm so mixed up
I will find you
I wanna have the right
I wanna feel the night
Around the stars
Wanna take a flight
Get back on my sight
Around the stars
Yeah
I want to have the right
God I want to feel the night
Around the stars
I want to have the right
I want to feel the night
Around the stars
As the ink runs deep
It left me a mark
Well the colors never change
Always hangin on to you in the same place
Well did you get it all for one yeah
