Tom Waits Temptation song lyrics

I went to see temptation yesterday

In a fourplex on the old high drive

Cause something in my life was runaway

Or maybe to prove that I am still alive

Temptation lives alone and she works all day

So I waited after five on her front porch

She arrived parked her car and she walked my way

She smiled to see me standing at her door

Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin

She turned the key in the lock and let me in

Ah temptation showed me what I shouldn't do

Ah temptation showed me what I shouldn't do

Somewhere in the world tonight

Two lovers are treating each other right

Somewhere else in a lonely town

One lover waits an endless hour

Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last

I know what I should never do

At least I'll keep temptations photograph

Maybe hang onto her phone number too

Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin

Well I don't plan to tell anyone where I've been

Ah temptation showed me what I shouldn't do

Ah temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
