作词 : Janis Ian 作曲 : Janis Ian Tattoo - Janis Ian Her new name was tattooed to her wrist It was longer than the old one
Sealed in the silence with a fist This night will be a cold one
Centuries live in her eyes Destiny laughs over jack-booted thighs ‘Work makes us free’ says the sign Nothing leaves here alive
Tattoo
She steps out of line to the left And her father to the right
One sides a cold, clean death The other is an endless night
Gold from a grandmother’s tooth
Mountains of jewelry and toys
Piled in the corners, mailed across the borders Presents for the girls and boys Presents for the girls and boys
Tattoo
And it gets darker every night
Spread-eagled out among the stars, she says “Somewhere in this tunnel lives a light Still my beating heart I have never known a man
What man will want me now?
Am I still alive, somehow? If I can survive, somehow Tattooed”
Soldiers from the other side Liberated them at dawn
Gave her water, gave her life She still had all her clothes on
She lived until she died Empty as the autumn leaves that fly Surgeons took the mark But they could not take it far It was written on her heart
Written on her empty heart Tattooed
