lyrics

I'm throwing stones in a house of mirrors
My sky is raining with the angels tears
I cleaned the house, I fooled them twice
Then slipped through the glass floor of paradise

Paid off the bellhop at heavens gate
Cut the fingers off the hands of fate
I hauled my load like a loaded di
The earth is crooked and so am I

Ooh Temptation
I feel the heat creeping through the floor
Ooh Temptation
The devil's knocking at my door
The devil's knocking at my door

My time is up the future's moving in
Can't hide the sun from a blind man's skin
Drop me at Hades I can walk from here
My prayers have fallen on cold dead ears

Ooh Temptation
I feel the heat creeping through the floor
Ooh Temptation
The devil's knocking at my door
The devil's knocking at my door

My soul is crying
I'm in as far as I can bare
And for my crimes
I might just die a millionaire
Let the gods look down and see
The canvas of the world is painted red because of me

Stitch my sins up into the seams
With broken promises and sleepless dreams
Tell the preacher not to preach a thing
I'm just a tune that the devil sings

Ooh Temptation
I feel the heat creeping through the floor
Ooh Temptation
The devil's knocking at my door
The devil's knocking at my door
