Temptation lyrics

[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
