Beauty today is only skin deep
G D
Temptation is strong and the job ain't cheap
D A
I've seen the spike up and down my arm
G D
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin' like a charm
Chorus:
G A D
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G A D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return
D
Get yourself a tattoo
A
Don't think twice
G D
You show it off in the disco, at school around the corner,
ain't no lie

Goin' down the road
A
With a pistol in my hand
G D
Johnny Tattoo is lookin' for you
Chorus:
G A D
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G A D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
