Blue Tattoo - Leddra Chapman

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 feris 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?

We were brought up by our mothers to believe in moral high-ground

With fidelity in grace, avoiding jealousy in playgrounds

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?

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?
