intro:

	                   
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /	[2x]

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]
