Tattoo Vampire lyrics
by Patti Smith
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
I went down last night with a tattoo madam
To a nude dagger fantasy domain
Wrapped in hell, I lost my breath
Chest to stimulating Chinese breast
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin
(Vampire! Vampire!)
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Seeding the night at the inker's parlor
Flash permabrand pricked for a dollar
Her wrist surreal a heart and flying skull
Lettered "life and love pass swiftly"
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin
(Vampire! Vampire!)
Grisly smiles, that don't flake off
Corny-colored demons leering
Vampire photos, sucking the skin
[Outro: Eric Bloom]
(Vampire!) Tattoo!
(Vampire!) Tattoo!
(Vampire!) Tattoo!
(Vampire!) Tattoo! Tattoo! Tattoo! Tattoo!
Vampire photos, sucking the skin!
