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

Speaking cherry red
Screaming 'lectric green
Purple mountain's majesty
Really talk to me
Talk to me, baby

Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic

Best believe that needle hurts you
Best to see these true colors
Than to follow one of your false virtues

Little secret to make you think:
Why is the crazy stuff we never say poetry in ink?
Speaking dayglo red, explodo pink
Purple mountain's majesty
Show me you, I'll show you me

Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Put a spell on me
Hey, hey, hey

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 the struggle here to win

(Everybody!)
Swap meet Sally
Tramp stamp tat
Mousewife to momshell
In the time it took to get that new tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo
Tattoo, tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic. Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold of me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Put a spell on me

(Tattoo, tattoo)
I'm in love with your
(Tattoo, tattoo)
I'll show me, show me yours
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Let me take a look at you, woah
(Tattoo, tattoo)

A little low on cash
But I'm high on luck
I wanna be your knight in shining pickup truck

With a Chevy for my summer home
Let's get the party started
It's looking like the city towed my other apartment

She got a doorbell sign that said:
"Bring it or don't ring it."

She's the woman (Go on)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

Fate is my pimp
But she was cool
Said if you're doin' business with me, honey
What does that make you?

Some Casablanca gin joint?
You're a nervous wreck
Your I.Q. plummets fourteen points
Her thunder thong around your neck

The song ain't dirty
It's really just the way we sing it
(Sing it)

She's the woman (Sing it)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman, ho

She wanted something to regret
Tomorrow morning
This suburban garage-a-trois was worth exploring

Yeah dreams come true
But it remains to be seen
By the time mine usually do it's no longer me

She got a doorbell sign:
"You better bring it, or don't ring it."

She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

Ain't no Red House over yonder
No Stormy Monday waits for you
Ain't no Midnight Train To Georgia
And I'm not looking for the truth

And I'll tell you what I'm getting rid of next
You and your blues
Yes I am

Your bad mood's permanent
Communication Breakdown
Like watching someone reinvent
Their 19th Nervous Breakdown

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered
'Cause of you and your blues

Ain't goin' down to no Crossroads
Ain't gonna Dust No Broom
No Evil Woman got a hold on me
Ain't Going To Heaven anytime soon

Your bad mood's permanent
Communication Breakdown
Like watching someone reinvent
Their 19th Nervous Breakdown

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered

I'm done with coexisting
This is heavy lifting
No more growing codependent over you
And baby while we at it, i've had it
With you and your blues

Woman, you suffer from a color
I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered

Woman, you suffer from a color
And I suffered 'cause of you
Now everybody's suffered
Now everybody's suffered
'Cause you and your blues

Headless body in a topless bar
Warring clans in lowered cars
A buck is still a buck in Shanghai
And a buck is all you earn
A great night for all concerned

Steel fingers play a deadly song
Whole lotta Shakespeare going on
And on and on

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Wooh

Heroes aren't born, they're cornered
And this corner is where we write the story
Two tribes warring
Downtown after hours
The best to you each morning

Can't survive and think to win
Drugged into sin
Next episode begins and begins
And begins and begins

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town

It's all happening downtown
Welcome to my town, my town, my town

It's all happening downtown
You painted daughters of the Tong underground
Don't mess around

Welcome to China Town
Well, you're in our town now
Welcome to China Town
Welcome to my town, my town, my town

You can always tell the winners
Saints and the sinners
Down at the starting line
I'm a lucid vision
Of the unforgiven
I'm your wave tossed guy

King size repercussions
Trouble by the dozens
The stakes have never been higher
Come back when you're younger
'Cause I can feel the thunder
1-800-IT'S-TIME

Ooh yeah!
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

Now look at all of the people
Here tonight

It's a world of fools
That's just what's expected
None of them know it
Or even suspect it
God must love the lazy,
Shiftless and the crazy
Put so many in line

Ooh yeah
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

Now look at all of the people
Here tonight

Forgotten empires
Lost victories long past
Every time I bloomed again
I thought it was the last
And then something crazy happens and Boom!
I'm doing the victory dance

Told ya I was coming back
Say you missed me
Say it like ya mean it

You can always tell the winners
Saints and the sinners
Down at the starting line

Ooh yeah
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire
We came, we came, we came
Through blood and fire

My karma just ran over your dogma
I can feel your pain
If everything is coming your way
You're facing the wrong lane

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes you are in danger
I drive just like you

How many roads must a man walk down
Before he admits he's lost
And do you really, really drive this way
Just to piss me off?

Boldly going nowhere
Trouble busting through
Yeah, I'm rolling slowly
But I'm ahead of you

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes, you are in danger
I drive just like you

Well I'm a lovin' the horn baby
Well I'm a bullethead
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come on baby
Well I'm a bullethead
Hurt me

Traffic is giving you trouble?
I can feel your pain
No light at the end of the tunnel
Due to budget constraints

Some days you're the dog
Some days you're the hydrant
If everything is going your way
You're facing the wrong lane

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes, you are in danger
I drive just like you

Yesterday I was a bum and broke
Today I am a star and broke
In this town that's called progress
And that's how we do biz

I've been rich and I've been poor
Rich was better, totally better
Requires a degree of acceptance
As in: "must accept as is."

Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so?
The day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.

That's how it goes...

How expensive he was
Or what was he worth?
Ain't no Brinks truck
Following no hearse

Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so...
That day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.

This next part should really confuse things
Everybody let's stay focused

Love of the craft
Or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day
We don't save up

A little more volume in the headphones please

Unspoiled by progress
"As Is" is how I follow through
It's not who you squeeze
But who returns once again to squeeze you, no doubt
Love 'em all I says
Let Cupid sort 'em out

Drive my search engine home
Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome
Hey what the hell it runs, so?
That day is dunzo
Let's have some funzo
Your's very truly
-As Is.

Love of the craft
Or love of the buck?
Every day down here's a rainy day
We don't save up

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Honey baby sweetie doll
You're the one that I want or I don't want one at all
Honey baby, my heart's aflame
I'm all fucked up and you're to blame

Honey baby sweetie girl
Let me count the ways you rock my world
Stone soul sister, soccer mom
Muchacha, amiga, cherry bomb

Baby lover
Angel faces
Satin doll
You straight up aces

I'm a bad little cowboy, send me to your room
Let's get started, let's not stop soon
I roll like the ocean when the moon is full
I'm a face grenade with the sex-pin pulled

Baby lover
Angel faces
Satin doll
You straight up aces

Honey baby Hampton's bitch
Kinda lost, sorta rich
I dig both and I don't care which
You're gonna make me crash
You red hot Florida trailer trash
Now that's a switch

You often wonder
You wanna know
How deep does
The rabbit hole go?

I know you never thought about it
But ask yourself later:
When you turn on your stereo
Does it return the favor?

I gotta know

That's the trouble with never
Sure seems like a mighty long time
That's the trouble with never
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Hello

Every Einstein's assigned
A Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber
Any old fool could see
Never even wonder

Yeah, we could come together
I will call for you
Hey, never's good for me
How's never sound to you?

1-800-Tell-Me-Baby

That's the trouble with never
Sure may be a mighty long time
That's the trouble with never
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Yeah
Level with me baby
Talk to me

This could damage your reputation
My wicked, wicked ways
But maybe I just will
Since you put it that way

Delusions of eloquence?
You never can say
You wanna play the game?
You can't quit when you get played

"Mistakes make people."
Isn't that what people say?
Let's un-plan the moment
Dance the night away

Selective amnesia
Is only a heartbeat away

A simple question concerning time:
"Suppose you wait forever
And then you change your mind?"
Oh, no

That's the trouble with never
Sure could be a mighty long time
That's the trouble with never
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

When was it?
When was it?
Ah, text me baby

When baby?
Tell me
When was the last time baby?
Show me

Need no polar bear to scare me
No Eskimo to share with me his fate
Woo! We outta space

No blog-o-sphere to sell me
No dolphin needs to tell me
No starving kid to make the case

Counter-blast, interstellar facial full
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, outta space
Outta space, outta space

Eighty acres of one stop shopping
Has somewhat changed the place
Woo! We outta space

I do not refuse it
I am guilty, I do use it
I am the reason we outta space

Counter blast, interstellar facial full
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, outta space
Outta space, outta space

Danger rides the web tonight
Burst mode dynamite
Spinning up my Facebook page
And I'll ride out towards the outer maze

The future ain't what it used to be
Time to change my galaxy in case
Wow! We outta space

Trouble-free Earth despocrats made
Mother Nature piss her pants and when
That's human way

Counter blast, interstellar facial full
Bumper sticker on my rocket's ass:
"Go Home. The Earth Is Full."

Outta space, outta space
Outta space, outta space

I journeyed to the North
To hear what the preacher said
He said, "Your arms too short to box with God.
Learn these words instead."

Gold tooth reflecting
My advice is free
There's a trick to Christian values
And it's compulsory

Stay frosty
That's what the preacher man said
Stay frosty
His words still racket in my head

Can't control your future
Can't control your friends
In a world without end

Stay frosty
Hey yeah
Stay frosty now
Alright, woo

Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh,uh

And I traveled to the South
The ancient rabbi appeared to me
Voice heavy with the sands of time
He made me see:

"Same as Kabbalah Dave
But for you it's free.
God guides us on our journey
But careful with those feet."

Stay frosty
In a world without end
Stay frosty
Like the ancient immortal said

Don't want 'em to get your goat?
Don't show 'em where it's hid
And that's just what I did

Stay Frosty
Woo look out
Stay Frosty now
Use my hand, I won't look, uh oh

Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh,uh

I journeyed to the East
And I struggled to stay afloat
A solitary Buddhist monk
Threw me a rope

Looked me in the eye said,
"Don't make me say this twice.
You want to be a monk?
You gotta cook a lot of rice."

Stay frosty
In a world without end
Stay frosty
Work hard at this my friend

Look beyond the kung-fu fighting
God is love
But get it in writing

Stay frosty
Stay frosty now

I wandered out west
To the California coast
Where the folks who know about frostiness
Stay frostiest the most

My brand new landlord
Proposed me a toast
My West Coast Host

Stay frosty
Chant it like a mantra
Stay frosty
And there's nothin' you can't handle

Far and wide
Far as you ramble
Trust in Allah
But tie up your camel

Stay frosty

Wind at my back
Face in the sun
All my big ideas done

Big river
Rollin'

Listen to a sea shell
You can hear the sea
Listen to a beer glass
That river belongs to me

Big river
Rollin'

There's a river runs here
When it rains, we flood
Co-op City first three floors
Of Charles River mud

Big river
Rollin'
Oh, yeah
Big river
Rollin'
Oh, yeah

Land's edge
Where the East begins
The debris meets the sea
When the tide comes in

Oh, look out
Look both ways now

Big river
Rollin'
Oh, yeah
Big river
Rollin'
Oh, yeah

Big river
Big river
Oh, yeah

Here today, gone later today
I've been reading what the bloggers say
How about a great big slice for me?
Otherwise or professionally

Beats workin'
Startin' up in my feet
Goes to workin'
On the rest of me

Live this life of luxury
Sho-nuff beats workin' for me
Kid'll land on his feet
If he don't land on his seat

This beats workin' baby
'Cause I'm red hot, baby like it or not
Don't you know that this beats workin' baby
'Cause I'm red hot, baby like it or not

One empty floor
Stands between the stage and the welfare door
Heads or tails
Of the same bread, coin of the realm
Just like the man said

Beats workin'
Starting up all in my feet
Goes to workin'
On the rest of me

Got a feelin' all in my head
Try to do it like the good book said
Kid'll land on his feet
If he don't land on his head

This beats workin' baby
'Cause I'm red hot, baby like it or not
Don't you know that this beats workin' baby
'Cause I'm red hot, baby like it or not

This beats workin' baby
This beats workin' baby
This beats workin' baby
'Cause I'm red hot, baby like it or not
