you opened up your door

I couldn't believe my luck

you in your new blue dress

taking away my breath

the cradle is soft and warm

couldn't do me no harm

you're showing me how to give



into temptation

knowing full well the earth will rebel

into temptation

a muddle of nervous words



could never amount to betrayal

the sentence is all my own

the price is to watch it fail

as I turn to go

you looked at me for half a second

with an open invitation

for me to go





into temptation

knowing full well the earth will rebel

into temptation

safe in the wide open arms of hell





we can go sailing in

climb down, lose yourself when you linger long

into temptation

right where you belong

the guilty get no sleep



in the last slow hours of morning

experience is cheap

I should've listened to the warning

but the cradle is soft and warm





into temptation

knowing full well the earth will rebel

into your wide open arms

no way to break the spell



break this spell

don't tell
