Temptation, Franks Wild Years, Tom Waits [129]

Hitting his groove (as well as the sideboard), Waits lifts into his falsetto for this warning against the evils of... alcohol? Women? Lack of faith? All three?

Lyrics - Temptation Rusted brandy in a diamond glass everything is made from dreams time is made from honey slow and sweet only the fools know what it means temptation, temptation, temptation oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist. I know that she is made of smoke but I've lost my way she knows that I am broke so that I must play temptation, temptation, temptation oh, whoa, temptation, temptation, I can't resist. Dutch pink and Italian blue she is there waiting for you my will has disappeared now my confusions oh so clear temptation, temptation, temptation whoa, whoa, temptation, temptation I can't resist.
