Original Sin

Elton John

Original Sin (Original Version)

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
And that face, those eyes
All the sinful pleasures deep inside

Chorus:
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
And that face, those eyes
All the sinful pleasures deep inside

Chorus x2
