Like A Rose Tattoo

Never be wise in your own estimation
Holy Thursday and you’re acting out the Stations
Of the Cross
Escaping your date with the national razor
And living out your days
A convict of the road

Scandal sticks to you
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose tattoo

Knowing that you will not be discovered
In a magazine fort built for drunkards
And for birds
Drinking like there is no tomorrow
Only sorrow
Left for you here

Scandal sticks to you
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose tattoo

Scandal sticks to you
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose tattoo

Scandal sticks to you
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose tattoo

Scandal sticks to you
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose
Like a rose tattoo
