dodie – Party Tattoos lyrics

Take a look at the clock only so long to go
Scrubbing smooth young skin saying I don't know
Grab a bag, grab a bottle but leave the "what if?"
You'll see it in the morning after your kicks

All you will need for a rocking good time
Is a bunch of people who don't give a damn
There's a yes, in your head, gotta find where it's at
You'll lose it in the morning but ignore that

And we're not bruised, they're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin

My mummy said to always wear a coat
But it's warm and it's heavy and we're trying to float
Don't forget she'll be right when it's three a.m.
So shiver, but shiver with a friend

And we're not bruised they're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
We're not bruised they're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin

Write a postcard to you at eighty-four
Tell them you'd never dream of living behind the door
Life was fun, full of love, full of hopeful smiles
Bet you wish you were here
But I'll see you in a while

And we're not bruised they're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
We're not bruised they're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
