Verse 1

  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 church and the steeple, 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

Chorus

  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

Verse 2

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel

The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well

I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"

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

[repeat chorus]

verse 3 [half-length]

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you

But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue

  I asked of my reflection, "tell me what is there to do"

[repeat chorus to fade]
