I was surprised and I started to choke
when I saw that the stars in your eyes
said you were telling a joke
Still something's wrong
It sounds like a tune
so I assume that it's really a song
You felt it, the pain
You were proud of the shame
that hung down aligned with your spine
It is yours, not mine
Still there you stand
with support for the neck
and the shoulders, yes even your hands
Speak without a clue The new temptations
keep on stalking you
create a new plan, make it hard to understand
Put it to the people, ignore the question why
They ran from the one who was hiding the sun
and tried to compete in the streets
where you lose when you've won
The big surprise
A crown made of razor and wire
surrounded by flies
Speak without a clue
The new temptations
keep on stalking you
Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
Put it to the people, ignore the question why
Worthless treasure
I want nothing
Guilty pleasures, keep your money
Don't offend me so stop pretending
you're never bored and seldom angry
Speak without a clue
The new temptations
keep on stalking you
Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
The new temptations
They keep on stalking you
Create a new plan, make it hard to understand
It's hard to understand the new temptations
It's hard to understand the new temptations
The nu temptations
