Van Halen - Tattoo Lyrics

Editor's comments:

It's finally here! Van Halen have finally released a new original song, after reuniting with frontman, David Lee Roth.
The new song is titled "Tattoo" and it will be included on the band's upcoming new album, “A Different Kind of Truth” which is set for release on February 7th, 2012.
Van Halen have also released the official music video for their new single, so January 10th was really a treat for VH fans.

Van Halen – Tattoo Lyrics

Tattoo, tattoo

I got Elvis on my elbow
and when I flex Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hulas when I walk

Speak in cherry red
Screaming electric green
Purple mountain’s majesty really talk to me
Talk to me babe

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 will hurt you
Best to see these true colors that follow money for your false virtues

Here’s a secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never said poetry in ink
Speak in day-glow red
Explodo paint
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)
You put a spell on meeeee!

Uncle Danny had a coal tattoo
He fought for the unions
Some of us still do
On my shoulder is a 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
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
You got a hold on me
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
You put a spell on me
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
I’m in love with you
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
Show me, show me your
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
Look at me, look at you!
(Tattoo, Tattoo)
Whoa!
