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 |
