The tatooed man asleep awake

the tatooed man is residing

under the bhodi tree

he sits around unnoticed

knowing how he can be

he watches as his world goes by

disguised as that and this

his tatooed soul and body

watching for his bliss

he laughs his soul to sleep at night

humming a tune or two

feeling safe in dreams at last

giving him love to do

he sails his dreams in silked robes

that glimmer in the moonlight

he visits places childhood places

of mystery and light

he pauses in his story

to see just where he is

whether luck or glory

stands in him with a kiss

oh the trails adventure

this dreaming state he's in

living all his markings

his holiness and sin

the tattod man awakens

knowing that all is there

nothing is forsaken

under his tree so fair

the tattoed man is sleep awake

awake and sleeping too

it's all the same for in the end

he knows one more tattoo

ha ha

he knows one more tattoo
