The Nu Temptations

I was surprised and I started to choke

When I saw that the stars in your eyes

Said you were telling a joke

Still something's wrong

It sounds like a tune

So I assume that it's really a song

You felt it, the pain

You were proud of the shame

That hung down aligned with your spine

It is yours, not mine

Still there you stand

With support for the neck

And the shoulders, yes even your hands

Speak without a clue

The new temptations

Keep on stalking you

Create a new plan, make it hard to understand

Put it to the people, ignore the question why

They ran from the one who was hiding the sun

And tried to compete in the streets

Where you lose when you've won

The big surprise

A crown made of razor and wire

Surrounded by flies

Speak without a clue

The new temptations

Keep on stalking you

Create a new plan, make it hard to understand

Put it to the people, ignore the question why

Worthless treasure

I want nothing

Guilty pleasures, keep your money

Don't offend me so stop pretending

You're never bored and seldom angry

Speak without a clue

The new temptations

Keep on stalking you

Create a new plan, make it hard to understand

The new temptations

They keep on stalking you

Create a new plan, make it hard to understand

It's hard to understand the new temptations

It's hard to understand the new temptations
