I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pajamas, a hairbrush New shoes and a case I said to my reflection Let's get out of this place Past the church and the steeple The laundry on the hill Billboards and the buildings Memories of it still Keep calling, me back But forget it all I know I will Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on Now that you have gone In no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I'm at the airport, the car park The baggage carousel People keep and pushin' I'm wishing I was well I said "it's no occasion It's no story I could tell" At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock Your body get's much closer I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish that it would stop Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on Now that you have gone In no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I bought a novel, some perfume A fortune all for you But it's not my conscience That hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection Tell me what is there to do Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on Now that you have gone In no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered
