TEMPTATION
It's My Life single B-Side
You're my missing picture on my mirror
I知 running away from home
Sam I知 just a man
A rusty bucket of flesh and bones
Someday I値l seek forgiveness
For the sweet smell of her breath
She touched my hand and asked for a check
I put out my cigarette
Temptation
Temptation, go home Lord
I知 walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I知 on my way
Gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles sword*
When the angels hung out in Eden
They caught Adam chasing Eve
They said grab your boots, your coat, your hat
My boy, it痴 time that you leave
She asked me if I liked to play
Cause she knew that I was broke
I cashed my chips out months ago
This smile is just mirrors and smoke
Temptation
Temptation, go home Lord
I知 walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I知 on my way
Gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles sword
Twist my wrist
Tell me I should resist
But the flesh is weak
Here comes the kiss
Come on, twist my wrist
Can稚 go on like this
Ah the flesh, it痴 weak
Here is comes, here it comes
Temptation
Temptation, go home Lord
I知 walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I知 on my way
Gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles sword
Temptation
Temptation, go home Lord
I知 walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I知 on my way
Gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles sword
I知 gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles sword
And hang my head down tonight on Damocles sword
*DAMOCLES (dam uh kleez), Damocles was a member of the court of
Dionysius II, who ruled Syracuse, Sicily, from 367 to 344 B.C. Damocles
was an excessive flatterer. The Roman orator Cicero said that Damocles
once talked too much about the happiness and good fortune of Dionysius.
To teach Damocles a lesson, Dionysius invited him to a big feast. When
he was seated, Damocles found a sword, suspended by a single hair,
dangling over his head. This sword represented the constant danger that
went with the wealth and material happiness of Dionysious. The SWORD OF
DAMOCLES has become a byword for the threat of danger.
