elvis costello - temptation lyrics
who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo
living in air-conditioned limbo?
though they treat him just like a guest
he’s living under threat of arrest
now that he’s finally trying to make some sense
he drinks in self-defense, give me temptation
the subtle touch of authority will
take you anytime down to the station
you say that it’s alright by me
now you’re living with the curse 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 deadly
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 claws to clause, give me temptation
give me temptation, give me temptation, give me temptation
give me temptation, give me temptation, give me temptation
give me temptation
