ORIGINAL SIN (THEME FROM "THE SHADOW")
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 and 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
Not enough to make the tears run dry
And who knows what Evil lurks in the heart of men today?
It's a city of shadows
It's a city of lies
It's a city of secrets
It's a city of crime
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...
All I wanted was a spark of the light
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 the ultimate crime
Infinite victims, infinitesimal time
And I'm so—so very guilty for no reason or rhyme
So now I'm just looking and killing some time
Endlessly searching for the ultimate crime...
You can loose yourself in pleasure 'till your body's going numb
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough!
You can always take what ever 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
Not enough to make the tears run dry
And who knows what Evil lurks in the heart of men today?
It's a city of shadows
It's a city of lies
It's a city of cruelty
It's a city of bribes
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...
All I needed was a spark of the light
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 of 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 been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all of 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 been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all of 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
And there'll be hell to pay someday
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 original sin....
