Original Sin

Lyrics

Oh, it's carnival night
 And they're stringing the lights around you
 Hanging paper angels
 Painting little devils on the roof
 Oh the furnace wind
 Is a flickering of wings about your face
 In a cloud of incense
 Yeah, it smells like Heaven in this place
 I can't eat, can't sleep
 Still I hunger for you when you look at me
 That face, those eyes
 All the sinful pleasures deep inside
 Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
 Underneath my skin
 Oh you were always my original sin
 And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
 This dangerous game
 Oh you were always my original sin
 ♪
 A dream will fly
 The moment that you open up your eyes
 A dream is just a riddle
 Ghosts from every corner of your life
 Up in the balcony
 All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand
 Blowing theater kisses
 Reciting lines they don't understand
 I can't eat, can't sleep
 Still I hunger for you when you look at me
 That face, those eyes
 All the sinful pleasures deep inside
 Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
 Underneath my skin
 Oh you were always my original sin
 And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
 This dangerous game
 Oh you were always my original sin
 Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
 Underneath my skin
 Oh you were always my original sin
 Tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
 This dangerous game
 Oh you were always my original sin
