Tempted |
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste |
A flannel for my face |
Pajamas, a hairbrush |
New shoes and a case |
I said to my reflection |
Let’s get out of this place |
Past the church and the steeple |
The laundry on the hill |
The billboards and the buildings |
Memories of it still |
Keep calling and calling |
But forget it all, I know I will |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
What’s been going on now that you have gone |
There’s no other |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
I’m at the car park, the airport |
The baggage carousel |
The people keep on crowding |
Been wishing I was well |
I said it’s no occasion |
It’s no story I could tell |
At my bedside, empty pocket |
A foot without a sock |
Your body gets much closer |
I fumble for the clock |
Alarmed by the seduction |
I wish it would stop |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
What’s been going on now that you have gone |
There’s no other |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
I bought a novel, some perfume |
A fortune all for you |
But it’s not my conscience |
That hates to be untrue |
I asked of my reflection |
Tell me what is there to do? |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
What’s been going on now that you have gone |
There’s no other |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
Oh, tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
Tempted by the truth of another |
Tempted and the truth is discovered |
Tempted by the fruit of another |
Tempted but the truth is discovered |
