oh its carnival night
and they're stringin the lights around you
hangin paper angels painting little devils on the roof
oh the furnace wind is a flickerin of wings about your face
in a cloud of innocence yeah it smells like heaven in this place
i cant eat, cant sleep still i hunger for you when you look at me
that face those eyes all the simple pleasures deep inside
tell me how you know now, the ways and means of gettin in
underneath my skin you were always my original sin
tell me why i shut up inside every time we begin
this dangerous game, oh you were always my original sin
i dream of flying the moment that you open up your eyes
the dream is just a rhythm goes from every corner of your life
up in the balcony all the romeos are pleadin for your hand
blowin theatre kisses reciting lines they don't understand
i cant eat, cant sleep still i hunger for you when you look at me
that face those eyes all the simple pleasures deep inside
