So, here I am once again, feeling all blue
I must be out of excuses, knew I would
Feels like it came out of nowhere this time
Wish I had someone else to blame

I tell myself I'm only human
I know I, I said never again
Temptation, feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, powerless as I descend
Back into my old ways again (ways again)
Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again (ways again)
Thought I would never go back, but just this once
A little present for holding out so long
I could not bear the thought of it two days ago
Don't think I would forgive myself
I tell myself I'm only human
I know I, I said never again
Temptation, feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, only notice it now and then
Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Ego's strumming, should be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, ain't so shocking
Always fucking up to something
Story swapping, downhill sloping
Barely coping, I (ways again)

I know I, I said never again
Temptation feels like it never ends
I'm sliding, powerless as I descend
Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again

Back into my old ways again (ways again)
Back into my old ways again

Sounds like the background music you would hear while dining in a chic restaurant. 
exploring new dimensions is essential and vital to improving any form of artistry.
Kevin Parker and his talented musician buddies are delightfully trippy but also down to Earth, and feel real to me. Their latest NPR Tiny Desk concert is really cool; their all-acoustic version of this is wild! I hope they come to town again. Live, they really bring it!
Starting with 7 just for the album photo. I want to live like that.
I prefer their older style, but this is catchy, and I dig the lyrics.  Something about resisting temptation being a decision you have to keep making instead of once-and-done.
Okay I'm going to throw the stone through the window. After several very strong albums I don't dig this album. This song isn't bad but not as good as Tame Impala used to be.

This is how I like Tame Impala: Tame Impale - Live from the Wavehouse
hmmm..catchy af...
