Lyrics for Temptation by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Get Happy | | Track: | Temptation | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | who's this kid with this mumbo-jumbo
living in air-conditioned limbo
though they treat him
just like a guest
living under threat of arrest
now that he's finally trying to make some
sense
he drinks in self-defense
give me temptation
the son told contempt of
authority
we'll take you anytime down to the station
you say that is all right by
me
now you're living with the ghost of sophistication
now that you're shackled up to
the rigmarole
with absolute control
I see you lying so wide awake
after I've given
you all that you can take
so for heaven's sake
give me temptation
still you
want to succeed so badly
finding your life will not be there
but you tell me you can take
it or leave it
sometimes I think that you really believe it
you're just itching to break
her secret laws
as you go from clause to clause
give me temptation | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
