The Bait

The extraordinary splendour of blessing in disguise
Leads us into temptation
An unwritten law
Every day a little bit more
Just for the fun of it

The wider the choice
The greater the trouble
The spirit is willing but
The fucking flesh is weak
Comes hell or high water

The rule is simple
Not of importance if you're friend or foe
Take the bait
The joker trumps when all the cards are played

Make every endeavour
To put up a brave front
What the eye does not see
The heart does not grieve over
Comes hell or high water

The rule is simple
Not of importance if you're friend or foe
Take the bait
The joker trumps when all the cards are played

Let no one steal the show from me

The rule is simple
Not of importance if you're friend or foe
Take the bait
The joker trumps when all the cards are played
