He hated to shower 

Cause he wanted to smell 

What was left of the girl 

That stayed at his hotel 

Still the water was warm 

With the soap in his hand 

As he halted the process 

Just to stare at this man 

In the dark of his room 

Right after his nap 

He buried his face in her pillow 

Then he stared down at his lap 

A small circle of miracles 

Surrounded his head 

That ranged dark blue 

All the way to dark red 

 

And in honor of this new affair 

He bought some socks and some underwear 

He was feelin' so sporty and lookin' brand new 

To cover up his invisible tattoo 


The box on the carpet 

Matched the lines on his head 

As he was ready to sleep 

And he turns down the bed 

Removes all his clothes now 

Lays them on the floor 

Slips under the covers 

He hears her key in the door 

His eyes blink for a minute 

His lids open and close 

A cool warmth fills the room 

He feels her chest on his nose 

His brow brushes her navel 

His hand follows her hips 

His neck jerks on the pillow 

Feels the touch of her lips 


And in honor of this new affair 

He bought some socks and some underwear 

He was feelin' so sporty and lookin' brand new 

To cover up his invisible tattoo 


But not as good as this invisible tattoo
