This is the 12th track off of Nothing But Thieves' Self-Titled album. This song is based on the Latin word Evocatio which is “a method of how an army would try to tempt out a god or goddess from a city in order to ransack it.”
[Verse 1]
Darling, I'm gonna build you something
Sweetie, you need something better
Let me build you something better
Heaven, it's lonely in your heaven
Darling we should get together
I could worship you forever
[Chorus]
How do I tempt you
Out of the city
Out of the city
Out of the city tonight?
How do I tempt you
Out of the city
Out of the city
Out of the city tonight?
[Verse 2]

Heaven, there's room for us in heaven
We could stay this way forever
While your people pray together
[Chorus]
How do I tempt you
Out of the city
Out of the city
Out of the city tonight?
How do I tempt you
Out of the city
Out of the city
Out of the city tonight?
