Planetfinder - Tattoo Girl Lyrics

I fell in love with a girl
A girl with milky white skin
It was a joy to behold
It was a joy to be in
And one day she came home
With a scarlet tattoo
I didn't know where to start
I didn't know what to do

And she said
Why should I go without when I can go within?
Boy you'll never change your skin
Just change the skin you're in

I saw the burning sun
I saw the evil eye
I saw the lizard tongue
Wrapping around her thigh
It crawled into my brain
And stuck to me like glue
Every time that tattoo saw me it
Turned into something new

And she said
Why should I go without when I can go within?
Boy you'll never change your skin
Just change the skin you're in

Now was it just my eyes, well I could never say
I saw the devil's hand, I felt my body sway
She saw he'd made his mark, she said she couldn't stay
I watched her down the hall, I watched her walk away

Next time I saw that girl
It was already too late
Everything I loved about her, I
I learned to love to hate

And she said
Why should I go without when I can go within?
Boy you'll never change your skin
Just change the skin you're in
And I said
Why should I go without when I can go within?
Girl you never change your skin
Just change the skin you're in

Now was it just my eyes, well I could never say
I saw the devil's hand, I felt my body sway
She saw he'd made his mark, she said she couldn't stay
I watched her down the hall, I watched her walk away
