Original Sin

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

You can dance forever, you got a fire in your feet

But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough

You can fly in never land and never need to sleep

But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough

It's not enough to make the nightmares go away

It's not enough to make the tears run dry

It's not enough to live a little better every day

Everything that they taught us was nothing but lies

Everything they they brought us was nothing but bribes

But it'll all be over now

All I wanted was a piece of the night

I never got an equal share

When the stars are out of sight

And the moon is down -

The natives are so restless tonight

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

You can lose yourself in pleasure 'til your body's going numb

But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough

You can always take whatever you conceivably could want

But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough

It's not enough to make the nightmares go away

It's not enough to make the tears run dry

It's not enough to live a little better every day

Everything that they taught us was nothing but lies

Everything that they brought us was nothing but bribes

But the lies are over now

All I wanted was a piece of the night

It never had to get so dark

When the stars are out of sight

And the moon is down -

The natives are so restless tonight

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 -

For an original sin

I've been looking for the ultimate crime

Infinite victims, infinitesimal time -

And I'm so very guilty for no reason or rhyme

So now I'm just looking

And I'm killing some time -

Endlessly searching for the ultimate crime

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'm applying for a license to thrill

Going out on the edge, moving in for the kill

They'll be hell to pay someday

So put it all on the bill

Cause we'll always be paying, and paying until

We're beyond expiration, with a license to thrill

I've been looking for an origial sin
