I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking then I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin
I've waiting for you
since you've been born
I'd watch you secretly
but not for long
And since I know all your dreams
I understand what you need
And when I call you
you must go where I lead
Your dreams are so hungry
it's time now feed
So I bless you with my curse
And encourage your endeavour
You'll be better when you're worse
You must die to live forever
I will show you the depths of the night
We can never go wrong
Together we can take it
to the end of the line
My eyes are like a shadow
on you all of the time
And since I know all your dreams
I understand what you need
And when I call you
you must go where I lead
Your dreams are so hungry
it's time now feed
