Lyrics

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", passed the churches and the steeples, the laundry on the hill, 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, ain't wishing i was well, i said it's no occasion, 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 that 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, though 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, there's no other, tempted by the fruit of another, tempted but the truth is discovered, there's no other
