Temptation Waits
Garbage · Version 2.0
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment
Chorus:
You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I never needed anybody like this before
I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defense
Be careful what you're wishing
Chorus
You are a secret
A new possession
I like to keep you guessing
Chorus
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
(When I'm not sure who I am)
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for
When I'm not sure what I'm living for
Temptation Waits
Garbage's 'Temptation Waits' stands as a defining track from their 1998 album 'Version 2.0,' marking a pivotal shift in the band's sonic landscape.

The song exemplifies the era's transition toward mainstream accessibility, featuring a driving rhythm and lyrical themes of desire and vulnerability that resonated deeply with audiences. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, showcasing the collaborative chemistry between Shirley Manson and the band members that characterized their work during this transformative period in their career.
