Red Dragon Tattoo Lyrics
Monday gonna take a ride on
The N train down to Coney Island
With the money I've saved
Gonna get me engraved
Drink down a lot of Basil Hayden
Get kicked out when I can't see straight and
What an island to be on
Under the neon
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you
I hear the man say you want to see the others
A mermaid and a heart that says mother
But I don't know from maritime
And I never did hard time
I brought a .38 Special CD Collection
Some Bactine to prevent infection
And in case I get queasy
A photo of Easy Rider
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you
Will you stop pretending I've never been born
Now I look a little more like that guy from KorN
If you came a little bit closer
You'd see it isn't painted on
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you
The N train down to Coney Island
With the money I've saved
Gonna get me engraved
Drink down a lot of Basil Hayden
Get kicked out when I can't see straight and
What an island to be on
Under the neon
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you
I hear the man say you want to see the others
A mermaid and a heart that says mother
But I don't know from maritime
And I never did hard time

this is an awsome song. cool beat and funny lyrics. i braided my head once and my best friend told me i looked like that guy from korn hehe.. good times :-D great song
I love this song. It was used very effectively on the TV show Kingdom Hospital. I found a few interesting facts on slangcity.com about the song, the only one's worth repeating are <plagarism type="blantant>N train = New York subway line that begins in Manhattan and ends at amusement park Coney Island Basil Hayden = bourbon whiskey brand </plagarism>
This is my favourite song from the Fountains of Wayne
another really great tune.
it's just about the things people are prepared to do to get with the girl they want. getting a tattoo, changing to look like the guy from korn etc, are examples of what people are often prepared to do win someone's affections.
interestingly, the character starts out getting drunk. a sign that not being able to get the girl has driven him to drink.
