place my missing picture on
my beer ı'm running away
from home
sam, ı'm just a man, a rusted
bucket of flesh and bone
someday ı'll seek forgiveness
for the sweet smell of her
breath
she touched my hand and
asked for a check, ı put out
my cigarette
chorus:
temptation
temptation
go home, lord
ı'm walking straight into the ocean
tell the tide ı'm on my way
ı'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 ı'd like
to play but she knew that
ı was broke
ı cashed in the my chips a month ago
this smile's just mirrors and smoke
chorus:
temptation
temptation
go home, lord
ı'm walking straight into the ocean
tell the tide ı'm on my way
ı'm gonna hang my head down
tonight on damocles' sword
twist my wrist
tell me ı should resist
but the flesh is weak
here comes the kiss...
twist my wrist
ı can't go on like this
the flesh is weak
here it comes... here it comes....
chorus:
temptation
temptation
go home, lord
ı'm walking straight into the ocean
tell the tide ı'm on my way
ı'm gonna hang my head down
tonight on damocles' sword
