Teardrop Tattoo - M. Craft (Martin Craft)

We were dark eyed children

In a neon world

Where men hid in the shadows

Of silhouetted girls

You were way too beautiful

As beautiful as anything those ugly

King's 'cross streets had ever seen

At seventeen

It happened on the corner

Where you used to stand

Dealers and policemen

Money changing hands

You didn't have to see a thing

You could've disappeared into a store

And hid behind a magazine

But you were seen

And he came for your life

In the rain in the night

All he ever cried

Over you

Was a teardrop

Tattoo

They'd called you to an inquest

To stand and testify

Against the law enforcers

Dealing on the sly

You never made the hearing

They found a man

Who with his hands had killed before

And now would kill again

And he killed again

'Coz he came for your life

In the rain in the night

All he ever cried over you

Was a teardrop tattoo
