Little Feat - Tattoo Heart lyrics

When i was young And thought nothing would harm me No-one could alarm me To the error's of my days And the nights Those dark starry nights They seemed so eternal Til they went out in a blaze If i gave you a minute You'd call it a day In the life of a stranger I'm swept away Your heart, you never gave your heart to me Was i so blind that I just couldn't see That your heart, was never in my arms You lived in the shadows With your tattoo heart I no longer see you In that cellophane mask I don't have to deal with Your sleight of hand past And the nights Ring silence from your call Your sensual innuendo I'm not missing it at all It took only a minute For me to call it a day Now your just a memory So very far away Your heart, you never gave your heart to me Was i so blind that I just couldn't see That your heart, was never in my arms You lived in the shadows With your tattoo heart
