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 goin' 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 carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel

The people, wishing I was well

I said "It's no occasion

It's no story I can 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 over you

But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue

I asked then my reflection, "Tell me what is there to do?"
