“Temptation” (4:05)
From the CD, Book Of Dreams (this recording is an early, rather spooky mix of the song. )
----- Lyrics:
The road of life has many dangers. It can be tricky dark and mean. One day you're walking down the road without a care; next day you’re filled with the strange desires and needs.
There's always someone on your doorstep who’ll tell you deserve much more. Your conscience whispers to you, “Don't give in! you sigh, “No thanks” and shut the door
Chorus: Temptation - unwelcome guest. It enters quietly at your request. Temptation opens your eyes - To greater promise or perhaps just bigger lies.
One day your conscience takes vacation. You know what's waiting at the door. You think about it and you don't feel good; you sit and think on it some more.
The offer brings you greater status. Of course the moneys handy, too. You know you're compromising everything - but others have so why not you? (Chorus)
The offer brings you greater status. Of course the moneys handy, too. You know you're compromising everything - but others have so why not you? (Chorus)
Now the decision’s made, you’re happy(?) There is so much that can be gained. You tell yourself that this will be the last. You'll never compromise again.
But somehow now that door has opened. It's easier to second crack. Much later on youll gaze upon yourself, and wonder who it is that's gazing back. (Chorus)
But somehow now that door has opened. It's easier to second crack. Much later on youll gaze upon yourself, and wonder who it is that's gazing back. (Chorus)
