Lyrics for Temptation

Rusted brandy in a diamond glass Everything is made from dreams Time is made from honey slow and sweet Only the fools know what it means Temptation, temptation, temptation Oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist I know that she is made of smoke But I've lost my wayy She knows that I am broke So that I must play Temptation, temptation, temptation Oh, whoa, temptation, temptation, I can't resist Dutch pink and Italian blue She is waiting there for you My will has disappeared Now my confusions oh so clear Temptation, temptation, temptation Whoa, whoa, temptation, temptation I can't reisist
