Temptation
The Tea Party
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Driven by restrained desire I want what I need Shaking as her sex takes hold I've lost all control Temptation Temptation Drowning in a sea of rage I taste the embrace Helpless as it steals my soul I've lost all control Temptation It never lets you down Temptation One foot in the ground We exist in a world Where the fear of illusion is real And we cling to the past To deny and confuse the ideal Once inside we conceive and Believe in a God we can't feel Destined by a fate so cruel And drugged to delight Laughing as these lies unfold I've lost all control Temptation It never lets me down Temptation One foot in the ground Temptation You satisfy my soul Temptation I've lost all control
