We were brought up by the nation
To believe we'll all be rock-stars
With mansions in the city and a circus in the backyard
With ferris wheels and tigers to tame
Well, at least I've got my hands free
Of [?] pilot, making coffee for the suits
Making my way up to the sky
But it gets harder the higher you climb
I wish it was change in my pocket weighing me down
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
Is it all for you?
We were brought up by our mothers
To believe in moral high-ground
With fidelity and grace, avoiding jealousy and fairgrounds
But never confuse happiness with success
I wish it was change in my pocket weighing me down
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
Blue tattoo
We were brought up by the nation
To believe we could be rock-stars
Mansions in the city and a circus in the backyard
My ferris wheel, it broke down
(Broke down, broke down)
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
Light up like a fire
I'm swimming with the sharks
And I am frightened
I'm drowning in a blue tattoo
Is it all for you?
And is it all for you?
