Who's this kid with his mumbo jumbo
Living in air-conditioned limbo?
Though they treat him just like a guest
He's living under threat of arrest
Now that he's finally trying to make some sense
He drinks in self-defense
I see you lying so wide awake
After I've given you all that you can take
So for heaven's sake
Give me temptation
The subtle touch of authority
Will take you anytime down to the station
You say that it is alright by me
Now you're living with the curse of sophistication
Now that you're shackled up to the rigmarole
With absolute control
I see you lying so wide awake
After I've given you all that you can take
So for heaven's sake
Give me temptation
