Body Beautiful - Alcatrazz

Have you met my grandmother, covered in tattoos

Addicted to graffiti since she’s 22

Once they were fire-fierce pictures, dragons colored bright

Now the colors faded, just blue guiding lines

Once homesick sailors so young

Out for the night having fun

To show their buddies they’re so strong

Tattooed with a heart that says «MOM»

The body beautiful

So show your mark

The body beautiful

Just show your mark

An' her skin looks dirty, from the needles' ink

Every outline moves under old wrinkled skin

It was quite a fashion back in her younger days

Now it’s gone full circle, young kids go the same way

Do you ever get the strange need

The needle, the ink makes you bleed

The picture is permanently fixed

Does a lifetime of doubt follow it?

The body beautiful

So show your mark

The body beautiful

Just show your mark

Once homesick sailors so young

Out for the night having fun

To show their friends they are so strong

Tattooed with a heart that says «MOM»

The body beautiful

So show your mark

The body beautiful

Just show your mark

The body beautiful

So show your mark

(Make me bleed)

The body beautiful

Just show your mark
