Original Sin

I remember, oh, I remember when

Almost everything I did amounts to sin

It was a game, impossible to win

It was the smallest that I have ever been

My tongue forgot how to speak

And my lungs forgot how to breathe

And my womb was locked into a cold room

Where it wilted when what it wanted was to bloom

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Oh, shame has gone away, oh, sticking with you

I thought I ran away, but I didn't make it through

I'm still here getting close to the wall

Wondering what it was that started it all

I drew lines from Eve to the priests

And from the priests to the judgement of the patriarchal beasts

That all the sinners are sacred

From a different point of view

The heretics are heroes

Telling the truth

And saints gamble with demons

In a limbo close to home

I just turn on my radio

Throw away my fading halo

And start dancing

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Oh, I'm at my best in my flesh, in my movement

Oh, I confess that I'm possessed and I'm so content

But I'm repeatedly pulled back into a very dangerous fight

In the midst of your garden of Earthly delights

I can't tell what is Hell and what is paradise

When all the prophets want to profit from giving you advice

Now there's a thousand different wrongs

And a thousand different rights

And sometimes the darkness shines so bright

I know the saints have made up their minds

And the demons will have a good time

God is either cruel or blind

So what the hell am I supposed to do now?

Ah-oh, oh-oh

Ah-oh, oh-oh

I'd say if God denies you apples

Grab your apples and make pie

The serpent is your ally

Your witness is the sky

And every woman is your sister

And we whisper, "You'll be fine

You'll be just fine"

Yeah
