ELTON JOHN - Original Sin lyrics

rate me

Oh, it's carnival night<br>And they're stringing the lights around you<br>Hanging paper angels<br>Painting little devils on the roof<br><br>Oh the furnace wind<br>Is a flickering of wings about your face<br>In a cloud of incense<br>Yea, it smells like heaven in this place<br><br>I can't eat, can't sleep<br>Still I hunger for you when you look at me<br>That face, those eyes<br>All the sinful pleasures deep inside<br><br>Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in<br>Underneath my skin,<br>Oh you were always my original sin<br>And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin<br>This dangerous game<br>Oh you were always my original sin<br><br>A dream will fly<br>The moment that you open up your eyes<br>A dream is just a riddle<br>Ghosts from every corner of your life<br><br>Up in the balcony<br>All the romeo's are bleeding for your hand<br>Blowing theater kisses<br>Reciting lines they don't understand
