Elton John - Original Sin lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Yea, it smells like Heaven in this place [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1]
