Baby Skin Tattoo Lyrics
I promised you delight and heaven opens
Come wage my holy war where every thought is sin
I've been meaning to remove my baby skin tattoo
And I meant to be more kind
And maybe next time
If you come my way
If you come my way
If you come my way
We might feel the same
Consequence's rage
If you come my way
I caught you on your knees
Your words aren't wasted
You'd love to be released without tasting it
And it's only if you've bought what I had sold you
And if everything is fine
Well maybe next time
If you come my way
If you come my way
If you come my way
We might feel the same
Consequence's rage
If you come my way
(Unsung part listed in booklet:
And if we go quiet, if we can slip through
If I could only think, only go unnoticed
If we hide the anger, smolder inside
Wait my time, wait so quiet)
Changed my face again so you'll forget me
Purified the skin, it's just a covering
I've been meaning to remove my baby skin tattoo
And I meant to be more kind
And maybe next time
I'll be a friend
And next time
They'll be the enemy
And you might find what you might find
And maybe this time
If you come my way
If you come my way
If you come my way
We might feel the same
Consequence's rage
If you come my way
In case you haven't noticed, the middle section that originally appeared in the lyrics from the booklet has been omitted. I'll scream with joy if anyone can tell me why David never sings those lyrics! Generally, a lot of the lyrics from Moist's booklets are wrong, and I never went by them. I typed the lyrics by ear.
david never sings those lyrics because he didn't think the song needed them. I only added them in when writing up the lyrics because they still hold the mood of the song. I felt that it would be better to add what was in the lyric book rather than what he does live, which is quite different from the book. Same for Ophelia, and a few others. But you changed them.
Thanks for that explanation! I never even noticed before I typed the lyrics that this whole section was in the booklet that had never been sung. It definitely does add to the song, though. I was mainly going for the most literal, correct lyrics, and as I earlier mentioned, NOT by the booklet. But if any one wants to know the unsung portion, I'll leave it.
