[00:00.000] 作词 : Janis Ian
[00:00.043] 作曲 : Janis Ian
[00:00.86]Tattoo - Janis Ian
[00:13.04]Her new name was tattooed to her wrist
[00:16.40]It was longer than the old one
[00:20.40]
[00:22.83]Sealed in the silence with a fist
[00:26.39]This night will be a cold one
[00:30.26]
[00:32.70]Centuries live in her eyes
[00:37.62]Destiny laughs over jack-booted thighs
[00:42.95]‘Work makes us free’ says the sign
[00:45.94]Nothing leaves here alive
[00:51.10]
[00:56.16]Tattoo
[00:59.78]
[01:09.22]She steps out of line to the left
[01:12.96]And her father to the right
[01:17.68]
[01:19.42]One sides a cold, clean death
[01:23.06]The other is an endless night
[01:28.55]
[01:29.29]Gold from a grandmother’s tooth
[01:33.16]
[01:34.10]Mountains of jewelry and toys
[01:38.09]
[01:38.97]Piled in the corners, mailed across the borders
[01:43.81]Presents for the girls and boys
[01:48.80]Presents for the girls and boys
[01:50.51]
[01:52.43]Tattoo
[01:55.30]
[02:06.68]And it gets darker every night
[02:10.13]
[02:11.87]Spread-eagled out among the stars, she says
[02:16.60]“Somewhere in this tunnel lives a light
[02:20.60]Still my beating heart
[02:26.80]I have never known a man
[02:30.43]
[02:31.61]What man will want me now?
[02:34.11]
[02:36.79]Am I still alive, somehow?
[02:41.66]If I can survive, somehow
[02:46.46]Tattooed”
[02:53.20]
[03:10.43]Soldiers from the other side
[03:13.37]Liberated them at dawn
[03:18.11]
[03:20.42]Gave her water, gave her life
[03:23.23]She still had all her clothes on
[03:28.22]
[03:29.28]She lived until she died
[03:34.65]Empty as the autumn leaves that fly
[03:39.45]Surgeons took the mark
[03:41.70]But they could not take it far
[03:44.07]It was written on her heart
[03:48.19]
[03:49.19]Written on her empty heart
[03:52.81]Tattooed
[03:56.87]
