Temptation lyrics

Rusted brandy in a diamond glass

Everything is made from dreams

Time is made from honey slow and sweet

Only the fools know what it means

Temptation, temptation, temptation

oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist.

I know that she is made of smoke

But I've lost my way

She knows that I am broke

So that I must play

Temptation, temptation, temptation

Oh, whoa, temptation, temptation, I can't resist.

Dutch pink and Italian blue

She is there waiting for you

My will has disappeared

Now my confusion's oh so clear

Temptation, temptation, temptation

Whoa, whoa, temptation, temptation

I can't resist.
