Karaoké Like a Tattoo Sade

He told me sweet lies of sweet loves

Heavy with the burden of the truth

And he spoke of his dreams

Broken by the burden

Broken by the burden of his youth

Fourteen years he said

I couldn't look into the sun

She saw him laying at the end of my gun

Hungry for life and thirsty for the distant river

I remember his hands and the way the mountains looked

The light shot diamonds from his eyes

Hungry for life and thirsty for the distant river

Like the scar of age written all over my face the war is still raging inside of me

I still feel the chill as I reveal my shame to you

I wear it like a tattoo

I wear it like a tattoo

I wear it like a tattoo
