Tempted

                                  I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste 

A flannel for my face 

Pyjamas, 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 

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 

I'm 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 that it would stop 

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
