Lyrics Old Tattoo - Lipbone Redding

The shoes are tied in single knots
Double blue suede jacket armed with afrodesiacs
The crease along her summer knitwear slacks
Is interrupted
By the burn of the cigarette
It leaves a scar which you can't forget
Dragged like a cripple thru these cotton candy apple colored circus lights
The circus nights reflected from your mother's gold medallion
All your friends stay passed out on the pavement
The red light district's best attraction
Long distance disconnection
Call your momma on the telephone
Say momma I'm so high
And flying home tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow never comes

Love is like an old tattoo
It's like
Love is like that old tattoo
Love is like an old tattoo
It never fades although you seem to
Obscure the scars received at war
On the shores of nevermore

Dragged like a cripple thru these cotton candy apple colored circus lights
The circus nights reflected from your mother's gold medallion
All your friends they passed out on the pavement
The red light district's best attraction
Long distance disconnection

Somebody call your momma on the telephone
Say momma I'm so high
And flying home tomorrow
Tomorrow here it comes

Love is like an old tattoo
It never fades although you seem to
Obscure the scars received at war
On the shores of nevermore

Love is like an old tattoo
It's like
Love is like that old tattoo you got
Love is like an old tattoo
