1. Oh it's carnival night, and they're stringing the lights around you,

Am F G

hanging paper angels, painting little devils on the roof.

C F G

Oh, the furnace wind is a flickering of wings about your face,

Am F G

in a cloud of incense, yeah, it smells like heaven in this place.

F G Em

I can't eat, can't sleep, still l hunger for you when you look at me,

F Dm G G7

that face, those eyes, all the sinful pleasures deep inside.

C G Am Em

Tell me how, you know now the ways and means of getting in,

F G C

underneath my skin, oh, you were always my original sin.

C G Am Em

And tell me why I shudder inside every time we begin,

F G Am

this dangerous game, oh, you were always my original sin.

2. A dream will fly, the moment that you open up your eyes,

Am F G

a dream is just a riddle, goes from every corner of your life.

C F G

Up in the balcony all the Romeos played them for your hand,

Am F G

blowing theatre kisses, reciting lines they don't understand.

F G Em

I can't eat, can't sleep, still l hunger for you when you look at me,

F Dm G G7

that face, those eyes, all the sinful pleasures deep inside.
