Lyrics
0:08I bought a toothbrush
0:14I bought a toothbrush some toothpaste
0:18A flannel for my face
0:20Pajamas a hairbrush
0:23New shoes and a case
0:26I said to my reflection
0:28Let's get out of this place
0:34Past the church and the steeple
0:37The laundry on the hill
0:39The billboards and the buildings
0:42Memories of it still
0:44Keep calling and calling
0:49But forget it all I know I will
0:55Tempted by the fruit of another
1:01Tempted but the truth is discovered
1:05What's been going on now that you have gone
1:10There's no other
1:14Tempted by the fruit of another
1:19Tempted but the truth is discovered
1:28I'm at the car park the airport
1:33The baggage carousel
1:35The people keep on crowding
1:38Been wishing I was well
1:41I said it's no occasion
1:43It's no story I could tell
1:48At my bedside empty pocket
1:51A foot without a sock
1:54Your body gets much closer
1:56I fumble for the clock
1:59Alarmed by the seduction
2:04I wish it would stop
2:10Tempted by the fruit of another
2:15Tempted but the truth is discovered
2:20What's been going on now that you have gone
2:25There's no other
2:29Tempted by the fruit of another
2:34Tempted but the truth is discovered
2:44I bought a novel some perfume
2:47A fortune all for you
2:49But it's not my conscience
2:53That hates to be untrue
2:55I asked of my reflection
2:57Tell me what is there to do
3:03Tempted by the fruit of another
3:06Tempted but the truth is discovered
3:09What's been going on now that you have gone
3:11There's no other
3:12Tempted by the fruit of another
3:15Tempted but the truth is discovered
3:21Oh tempted by the fruit of another
3:24Tempted but the truth is discovered
3:25Tempted by the fruit of another
3:28Tempted but the truth is discovered
3:30Tempted by the truth of another
3:32Tempted and the truth is discovered
3:40Tempted by the fruit of another
3:42Tempted but the truth is discovered
I bought a toothbrush 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 The billboards and the buildings Memories of it still Keep calling and calling 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 There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I'm at the car park the airport The baggage carousel The people keep on crowding Been 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 gets much closer I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish 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 There's 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 There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Oh tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the truth of another Tempted and the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered
