Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, it's carnival night
And they're stringin' the lights around you
Hangin' paper angels
Paintin' little devils on the roof
[Verse 2]
Oh, the furnace wind
Is a flickerin' of wings about your face
In a cloud of incense
Yeah, it smells like Heaven in this place
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Tell me how you know now
The ways and means of gettin' 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Up in the balcony
All the Romeo's are bleedin' for your hand
Blowin' theater kisses
Recitin' lines they don't understand
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Tell me how you know now
The ways and means of gettin' 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
[Verse 9]
Tell me how you know now
The ways and means of gettin' 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
