| All the dirty streets I walked
|
| All the dirty thoughts I thought
|
| All the dirty deeds that I did
|
| Stick on my mind
|
| I’ve been putting a tattoo on me
|
| From the inside I can’t see
|
| What it is or what it means
|
| I just know the pain that I feel
|
| But the day when I’ll be done & die
|
| Will I see, will I recognize
|
| The whole, the tattoo inside
|
| Of my heart & my soul?
|
| Will I Be someone before I die
|
| Will I be someone
|
| When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
|
| Will I be someone before I die
|
| A dot of ink in God’s blue sky
|
| A tattoo myself, fading away
|
| Btty set her mind to die
|
| Mad a plan after 'while
|
| Getting herself overdosed
|
| With the stuff that she liked most
|
| Liquid courage made her nearly insane
|
| Couldn’t hit a letter nor a vein
|
| Asked her neighbour to help her through
|
| Neighbour said, sure I could do this for you
|
| But hippie Johnny was a junkie himself
|
| Took his share before gave her something else
|
| He got high while she did faint
|
| He saved her life, what an american saint
|
| Will I Be someone before I die
|
| Will I be someone
|
| When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
|
| Will I be someone before I die
|
| A dot of ink in God’s blue sky
|
| A tattoo myself, fading away
|
| Is it singing peasants throwing their seed
|
| Or the crazies yelling down in the street
|
| Is what you get the stuff that you need
|
| Down in the dark night?
|
| Looking for love, are you looking for God
|
| Christmas tree or a parking lot
|
| A place for a pee or a decent job
|
| Are you fading away?
|
| You can’t say because it’s too hard
|
| Time to stay or is it time to part
|
| Question mark in the dark
|
| That’s what we are
|
| I’ve been putting a tattoo on me
|
| From the inside I can’t see
|
| What it is or what it means
|
| I just know the pain that I feel
|
| Then the day when I’ll be done & die
|
| I will see, I will recognize
|
| The whole, the tattoo inside
|
| Of my heart & my soul
|
| Then I’ll be someone before I die
|
| Then I’ll be someone
|
| When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
|
| Then I’ll be someone before I die
|
| A dot of ink in God’s blue sky
|
| A tattoo myself, fading away |
