Time For Temptation Lyrics
time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
why you chasin' a lost religion
of guilty feelings that belong in yesterday
spy the preacher's a politic plan
he carrys the cross like a gun
whip you into shape
here's the rub now
no secret hours locked in the backroom
if you come together right
check your vision and push it out there
you make the question
define what it's all about
time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
oh, ohh
with chains of heaven across your shoulder
a slave for promotion to the afterlife
the boss gets fat while you just get older
here comes a mission set to put you right
time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
of guilty feelings that belong in yesterday
spy the preacher's a politic plan
he carrys the cross like a gun
whip you into shape
no secret hours locked in the backroom
if you come together right
you make the question
define what it's all about
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
a slave for promotion to the afterlife
the boss gets fat while you just get older
here comes a mission set to put you right
time for temptation no damnation for what you do

"here's the rub now "
Ah, Hamlet. Just like the line "We carry this mortal coil" from Breath After Breath. Now let's see, does that allusion fit? I know it's a common saying now anyway.
The lyrics sound interesting. I know Simon seems to be wary of religion. I think he has faith but that's different than religion.
