Temptation

[Verse 1]

Place my missin' picture on my beer, I'm runnin' 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

[Chorus]

Temptation

Temptation, go home, Lord

I'm walkin' straight into the ocean, tell the tide I'm on my way

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

[Verse 2]

When the angels hung out in Eden, they saw Adam chasin' Eve

They said, "Grab your boots, your coat, your hat, my boy, it's time that you leave"

She asked me if I'd liked to play 'cause she knew that I was broke

I cashed my chips out months ago, the smile is just mirrors and smoke

[Chorus]

Temptation

Temptation, go home, Lord

I'm walkin' straight into the ocean, tell the tide I' on my way

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

[Bridge]

Twist my wrist

Tell me I should resist

But the flesh is weak

Here comes the kiss

[Instrumental Break]

Uh-huh

Mh-hm

Uh-huh

[Bridge]

Twist my wrist

I can't go on like this

Ah, the flesh is weak

Here it comes, here it comes

[Chorus]

Temptation

Temptation, go home, Lord

I'm walkin' straight into the ocean, tell the tide I'm on my way

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

Temptation

[Guitar Solo]

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

[Outro]

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