Meat Loaf - Original Sin lyrics
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`ve 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
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
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 `till 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 the 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, then I`m gone with the wind
Endlessly searching 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
And there`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 original sin...)
