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
