Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Temptation
Who's this kid with his mumbo jumboLiving in air-conditioned limboThough they treat him just like a guestHe's living under threat of arrestNow that he's finally trying to make some senseHe drinks in self-defenseGive me temptationThe subtle touch of authority willTake you anytime down to the stationYou say that it's alright by meNow you're living with the curse of sophisticationNow that you're shackled up to the rigmaroleWith absolute controlI see you lying so wide awakeAfter I've given you all that you can takeSo for heaven's sakeGive me temptationStill you want to succeed so badlyFinding your life will not be deadlyYou tell me you can take it or leave itSometimes I think that you really believe itYou're just itching to break her secret lawsAs you go from claws to clauseGive me temptation
