Temptation


Place my missing picture on my beer I'm running away from home
Sam, I'm just a man, a rusted bucket of flesh and bone
Someday I'll 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'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword

When the angels hung out in Eden they saw Adam chasing Eve
They said grab your boots, your coat, your hat
My boy, it's time that you leave
She asked me if I'd like to play but she knew that I was broke
I cashed my chips out months ago
This smile's just mirrors and smoke

Temptation
Temptation
Go home, Lord
I'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm 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

Uh, huh
Uh, huh
Uh, Huh

Twist my wrist
I can't go on like this
The flesh is weak
Here it comes
here it comes

Temptation
Temptation
Go home, Lord
I'm walking straight into the ocean
Tell the tide I'm on my way
I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword
Temptation

Uh, huh
Uh, huh
Uh, huh

I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword
