Lyrics From Temptation to You - Jeffrey Lee Pierce

From Temptation to You

Oh, what blue daughter there in the sun
Always claiming to be the one
Who would drop that name on you
Temptation has passed you
You know what it takes to make the wind blow
What it takes to make the minds grow
Who could say «go away» to you
Temptation has passed you
With your mind on fire and raving the end
You open the gates and welcome the men
Saying I was never a friend of you
Temptation don’t want you
And the nights are hot beneath your feet
They cancel your eyes and your dreams
But, that don’t seem to bother you
Temptation has passed you
And don’t you get sleepy in my bed
You’re always painting my sheets red
Don’t play dead, because I know you
Temptation has passed you
And it’s cold and sick in the wind
The Indians come and speak of sins
It’s going crazy again for you
Temptation don’t want you
