This is a driving rocksong in the style of Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World and Hendrix' version of All Along The Watchtower. I played this song many times with a band in the 90s.
So many times
I have changed my ways
And I embraced responsibility
But every time
It only took a few days
Before I lost my mental stability
And I don't know
If it's ever gonna change
Cuz I was blessed with a restless state of mind
So many pretty girls
Have crossed my path
And they knew how to seduce me
Heavenly bodies and angel voices
So sweet and so confusing
And I don't see
If there's any reason why
I should deal with temptation as if...
..as if I am NOT made of flesh and blood
chorus:
It's hard to be a saint
When angels tempt you to sin
It's hard to be a saint
When angels tempt you to sin
Maybe I should tell myself
I'm just like everybody's else
Living in a world of sin
So I've made up my mind
I've kicked the habit
So many good intentions
I applied for a job
Well, I just got lucky
It's all settled, including my pension
And there's no need
To keep on running like mad
But it's just the sensation..
Of complete communication..
With the opposite sex
chorus
