Oh, it's

carnival night

and they're stringin'

the lights around you

Hangin' 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 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

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

bleedin' for your hand

blowin' theatre kisses

Recitin' 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 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

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
