Elton John

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tell me how, you know now,
the ways and means
of getting in
Underneath my skin,
Oh, you were always
my original sin
Tell me why,
I shudder inside,
every time we begin
This dangerous game
Oh, you were always
my original sin
