Alright, don’t you think you’ve got a good thing going?
A goodnight never stopped you from coming on strong
All night, it’s your feet that you can’t stop moving
You lose it, hear the words and you have to sing along

It’s not like you
Don’t let it slip away
Chinese tattoo
It’s so easy

No fights and you wonder if he even sees you
A good time is much harder to come by these days
Dim light and the warm smell of amyl hits you
The choice is obvious, now you have to run away

It’s not like you
Don’t let it slip away
Chinese tattoo
It’s so easy

Just fine but no one ever saw this day coming
We all pine over the years that just slip away
One shot with a clock that just keeps on ticking
Sometimes all you have to do is seal your fate

It’s not like you
Don’t let it slip away
Chinese tattoo
It’s so easy
