Body Beautiful

Have you met 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 Pre-chorus: 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" Chorus: The body beautiful So show your mark The body beautiful Just show your mark Verse 2: 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 Chorus: The body beautiful So show your mark The body beautiful Just show your mark Pre-chorus: 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" Chorus: The body beautiful So show your mark The body beautiful Just show your mark Make me bleed The body beautiful So show your mark (Make me bleed) The body beautiful Just show your mark
