Jack's out walking 'cause he's tired of talking
He knows he's got to get out soon
He jumps a chainlink fence and it dances in the traffic
To the shop where she bought her tattoo
Rose cries on my shoulder till my shirt's cold and damp
Says Jack's gonna take her apart
He's never laid a hand on her, no, that's never been the case
But you know that he's bloodied her heart
We got dragons and daggers, tigers, roses and hearts
Long legged ladies, ships, skulls and sharks
A gilt-edged scroll with anything you got to say
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
He says, "God, I just don't know what to do
Well, how can I love her this much and be sick of her too?
I told her right to her face that she can do what she wants to"
She's tried every trick she knows just to keep him
Right up there, they're changing her skin
She's got a twist of thorns and a single red rose
They were cut with a stainless steel pen
We got dragons and daggers, tigers, roses and hearts
Long legged ladies, ships, skulls and sharks
Well it's right below the belly so that no one else can see
So he was saving all his love for me
That's what she said, saving all his love for me
Well, it's the simple ones that are gonna get you
Just like a flower on your back or your thigh
If they don't smell just as sweet as you hope
You can hide them away from your eye
She says, "God, I just don't know what to do
Well, how can I hate him this much and still need him too?
I told him right to his face that he can do what he wants to"
We got dragons and daggers and an old Harley first
And if they ever ask you, goddamn right, it hurts
But the sting is the thing, least that's what they say
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
And it will never go away
