Tempted Songtext
von Mickey Thomas

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
Flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a cane
I said to my reflection
Let′s get out of this place

Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
The 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
I'm wishing I was well
I said it′s no occasion
It′s no story I'd 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
And I wish that 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
I'm tempted but the truth is discovered

Oh yeah
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
I've been tempted
Tempted by the fruit of another
Ooh, ooh, ooh
