Blue Tattoo

We were brought up by the nation
To believe we'll all be rock-stars
With mansions in the city and a circus in the backyard
With ferris wheels and tigers to tame

Well, at least I've got my hands free
Of? Naughty pilot, making coffee for the suits
Making my way up to the sky
But it gets harder the higher you climb
I wish it was change in my pocket weighing me down

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?
Is it all for you?

We were brought up by our mothers
To believe in moral high-ground
With fidelity and grace, avoiding jealousy and fairgrounds
But never confuse happiness with success
I wish it was change in my pocket weighing me down

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?
Blue tattoo

We were brought up by the nation
To believe we could be rock-stars
Mansions in the city and a circus in the backyard
My ferris wheel, it broke down
(Broke down, broke down)

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?

Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo,
Is it all for you?
And is it all for you?
