Temptation |
| Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo |
| Living in air-conditioned limbo |
| Though they treat him just like a guest |
| He’s living under threat of arrest |
| Now that he’s finally trying to make some sense |
| He drinks in self-defense |
| Give me temptation |
| The subtle touch of authority will |
| Take you anytime down to the station |
| You say that it’s alright by me |
| Now you’re living with the curse of sophistication |
| Now that you’re shackled up to the rigmarole |
| With absolute control |
| I see you lying so wide awake |
| After I’ve given you all that you can take |
| So for heaven’s sake |
| Give me temptation |
| Still you want to succeed so badly |
| Finding your life will not be deadly |
| You tell me you can take it or leave it |
| Sometimes I think that you really believe it |
| You’re just itching to break her secret laws |
| As you go from claws to clause |
| Give me temptation |
