Treacherous Temptation

When our sweet tooths’ tingle
being deprived for so long
we enter a trance
Within we find ourselves faced
against that treacherous Temptation

So often we give in
to his dirty little tricks
He seems so nice
When offering us candy
luring us kids
to his remote lot

When we enter his truck
There’s not a second to think
The engines rev up
And we take off in a blink
By that time, its too late

He glares over at us
with his lustful eyes
Knowing he has us
as a prize for his wit
Rapacious incarnate
He longs for more

That’s all he ever wants
that bastard Temptation
For us to hop along for the ride
on a road to a disappointing nowhere
Rendered as slaves to his pale sorrow

Its all in our choice, though
if we play passenger with him
For the treats we’re offered
are nothing but lures
