lyrics

When I was bored, out of the blue
Decided to get a tattoo
I picked up the phone
manned up and made an appointment
I didn’t know yet what to get
The only image in my head
A throbbing needle causing
oh so many nightmares
When the day had finally come
I lost it and I froze!

Ink’s for squids, but not for me
Might be a pussy, but I know that
Ink’s for squids, but not for me
I learned my lesson, now I’m sure that
Ink’s for squids, but not for me
You might look cool, but I’m a tool
I know where I went wrong, It’s not for me
Know where I went wrong

Entered the store and I sat down
The guy he smiled and grabbed my arm
He fetched his tools and
I started to feel lightheaded
Right after, passed out in the chair
Before I could make myself clear
And double-check if
he had really understood me
Then I woke up with a quote
that spelled out “Pug for life”

Ink’s for squids, but not for me
Might be a pussy, but I know that
Ink’s for squids, but not for me
I learned my lesson, now I’m sure that
Ink’s for squids, but not for me
You might look cool, but I’m a tool
I know where I went wrong, It’s not for me
Know where I went wrong
