Temptation by New Order Lyrics
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it’s no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words I’ve never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Each way I turn I know I’ll always try
To break this circle that’s been placed around me
From time to time I find I’ve lost some need
It was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Oh, you’ve got green eyes
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes
Oh, you’ve got grey eyes
Oo, you’ve got green eyes
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes
You’ve got grey eyes
And I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time
Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time
Oh, it’s the last time
Oh, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, no, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before
