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

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 usWas nothing but lies

Everything that they bought usWas 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 sightAnd the moon is down

The natives are so restless tonight



All I needed was a spot in 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

The natives are so restless tonight



I've been looking for the ultimate crime

Infinite victims, infinitessimal time

And I'm 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 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 they bought 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



All I wanted was a spot in 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 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

They'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
