Elton John - Original Sin

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 theatre 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
