Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
[Verse 2]
The cradle is soft and warm
It couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give
[Verse 3]
Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
[Verse 4]
A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
Sentences all my own
When the price is to watch it fail
[Verse 5]
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation
For me to go
[Verse 6]
Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide, open arms of hell
[Verse 7]
We can go sailing in
Climb down
Lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong
[Verse 8]
The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I shoulda listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm
[Verse 9]
Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break the spell
Break the spell
Don't tell
