Tattoo Lyrics

Color me,color me
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit down watching the door
Color me,color me

I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Color me,color me

Something fits along my spine
Just givin' lovin' from behind
Fortify my arms
Fortify my arms
Color me, color me.

When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit down watching the door
Color me,color me

I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
Sing your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Color me,color me

Something fits along my spine
Just givin' lovin' from behind
Fortify my...
Fortify my...
Color me, color me.
Color me,color me
Color me

Something fits in the middle of the floor,
There's something uncontrollable,
You sit down watching the door
Color me,color me

I really feel ill,
Tattoo you're bad side
Slap your thigh,
Slap your cuff
your mantra,
Leave your walk,
Color me,color me

Something fits along my spine
Just givin' lovin' from behind
Fortify my arms
Fortify my arms
Color me, color me.

Cover art for Tattoo lyrics by Tricky

Well, this is a Siouxsie and the Banshees cover. Apparently Tricky/Massive Attack admired them. I love this song, and the original. The lyrics are different from the original but I think thats because Tricky just sang the song as he heard it. (it is a little tricky to make out the lyrics in the original song.)

Siouxsie and the Banshee's version:

When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor There's something uncontrollable As you sit there watching the door Colour me

Tattooed on the inside Slap your thigh, slap your calf, Sing your mantra, leave your mark Colour me

Something fierce along my spine To scare the madman from behind Fortify my arms with some snake-like lines Colour me, colour me

Like a stomach split in half By a surgeon's cutting art Colours me, colours me, colours me

When you're sitting all alone In the middle of the floor There's something uncontrollable As you sit there watching the door

Tattooed on the inside A lonely feeling Inoculating Colours me

Slap your thigh, slap your calf, Sing your mantra, leave your mark Colour me


It gives a feeling of fear or paranoia? Kind of a creepy feeling. Like being watched, or watching somebody. ... thats all I got...
