Lyrics

She’s an altered little lady
A self-modified chick
Tattoos up and down her arms
Ah, she don’t give a lick

Piercin’s on her eye brows
A golden eagle on her chest
Studs through her button nose
Such a beautiful mess

Hair’s dyed with some colors
That are meant to shock
Ruby red and brilliant blue
Knotted up in dread-locks

She’s tellin’ us a story
Through that mural on her back
She’s makin’ a statement
In red and blue and black
In red and blue and black (Liz)

Beneath each new tattoo
A problem she does hide
With each added color
Life’s troubles take a ride
Life’s troubles take a ride (Liz)

A riddle wrapped enigma
A code I can’t comprehend
A life cloaked in mystery
So hard to understand

A rebel without a cause
A planter without seeds
She can’t land a good job
But has so many needs

Unpleasant most the time
Busy not fittin’ in
Men want her for their pleasure
A life hard to defend

She’s tellin’ us a story
Through that mural on her back
She’s makin’ a statement
In red and blue and black
In red and blue and black (Liz)

Beneath each new tattoo
A problem she does hide
With each added color
Life’s troubles take a ride
Life’s troubles take a ride (Liz)

Tats proclaim her stabbing pain
A cry for help on her arm
A symbol of her despair
A cause for alarm

Life’s a dream or a nightmare
If one thing goes amiss
And throws you asunder
Life becomes a dark abyss

Oh you tatted little lady
Your life’s a protest
Just surrender your demons
Try to put your mind to rest

She’s tellin’ us a story
Through that mural on her back
She’s makin’ a statement
In red and blue and black
In red and blue and black (Liz)

Beneath each new tattoo
A problem she does hide
With each added color
Life’s troubles take a ride
Life’s troubles take a ride (Liz)

She’s tellin’ us a story
Through that mural on her back
She’s makin’ a statement
In red and blue and black
In red and blue and black (Liz)
