Original Sin Tab

Intro:      

                        
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 will never be enough.

You can fly to never land, and never need to sleep.
            
But will it ever be enough, you know it'll never be enough.

				  
Not enough to make the nightmares go away.
                         
Not enough to make the tears run dry.   
                       
Not enough to live a little better every day.

                                            
Everything that they taught us, was nothing but lies.
                                           
Everthing thing 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 till your body's going numb.
            
But will it ever be enough? You know it'll never be enough.

You can always take whatever you conceivably could want.
	    
But will it ever be enough? You know it'll never be enough.

				  
Not enough to make the nightmares go away.
                         
Not enough to make the tears run dry.
                       
Not enough to live a little better every day.

                                               
Everything that they taught us, was nothing but lies. 
                                           
Everthing thing they brought us, was nothing but bribes.                              B
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.

N..

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 - 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. 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 they'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.
