Tattoo Of Our Son (Tattoo Of The Sun)

Alright she beat me to it :-) I knew one of us was going to get a parody done for Tattoo of the Sun, possibly the hardest 3eb song to parody since no verse repeats (unlike say Jumper). Well she just rocks cause she conquered the challenge first :-)
I believe everything you say cuz I'm not frightened
by the way you are so so I followed you
I'd never lose my way, so glad you never let me frown
All those fences we climbed to escape the past we've known
Yours and mine
And with the ease of the cool breeze
We slow down and we glide high
In the summer sky baby
Now you could speak about everything
Always no room for my voice
When all I hear is you thumpin the speakers of the car
Ring there goes the phone and you trail off again on
What the caller told you
So I went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing wishing you were there
I'm so embarrassed cuz it's you who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you to lead
Its not the place I wanna go
And I'm mad and you and I'm mad at me
Fighting endlessly not a kind word to say
Till your amber beads of wisdom come and
I want to write them down
Just the way you said it so I could keep it always, always
I can't forget the smell of the breeze at midnight
Staying up late to avoid the sun
You'd touch the tattoo of our son
On your warm belly that carried our baby for a while
And let my old letter jacked round you fold
All these things so much better than gold
And in this beauty I could not go any further because
I suddenly remember
We can't live this way forever
I see daylight never wanna catch you in a lie
Not until now
I feel somehow
I felt the passing of lies fly by
What will you do when I find out that
This feeling you had is though
I need to know cuz
I'll never stop loving you
And it's times like this that I dread
When theres nothing left to say and
There's nothing left to be said
And it makes me sad
