Jimmy's Rose Tattoo Lyrics
Artist: Nina Nastasia
Album: Dogs
Jimmy Rose owns a tattoo parlor
Three times a day
Cooks a spoon of powder
I wash the dishes piled in his tub
If I wait too long he may never stand up
Up
He lies awake on an empty canvas
And tilts his brush
Watching brilliance drip circles on the floor
And I lay his shirt on the bed
I fall inside picture frames
Breathing in his oil paints
He doesn€™t see me
He wanders in
His mouth looks thin
Like a child who stands there shaking
I can feel his anger choke me
Jimmy Rose works from twelve to five
To pay off the doctor that he prescribes
There€™s kerosene in the wishing well
And I throw a penny still holding on to his hand
And I watch him drift, close his eyes
I fall inside picture frames
Breathing in his oil paints
He doesn€™t see me
He wanders in
His mouth looks thin
Like a child who stands there shaking
I can feel his anger choke me
Under the gun
Under my clothes
He's feeding me
I€™ll never know
I€™ll never know
I€™ll never know
He wanders in
His mouth looks thin
Like a child who stands there shaking
I can feel his anger choke me
