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"
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep
Calling and calling
But forget it all I know I will
chorus:
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
verse 2:
I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell" At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock Your body gets much closer I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish that it would stop
[repeat chorus]
verse 3 [half-length]
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, "tell me what is there to do"
