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 be done in

Now i'm just looking

And i'm gone with the wind

Endlessly searching

For and original sin...

You can dance forever

You gotta fire in you feet

But will it ever be enough

Ya, know it'll never be enough

You can fly and never land

And never need to see

But will it ever be enough

You know it'll never be enough

It's no enough to make the nightmares go away

It's not enough to make the tears run dry

And who knows what evil

Lurks in the hearts of men today

It's a city of shadows

It's a city of light

It's a city of secrets

It's a city of pride

It'll all be over now

All i wanted was a piece of the night

I never gota equal share

When the stars are all outside

And the moon is down

The natives are so restless tonight...

I've been looking for the ultimate crime

Infinite victims, in a testable time

And i'm so, so very guilty

For no reason, no rhyme

So now i'm just looking, and i'm killing some time

Endlessly searching

For the ultimate crime...

You can loose yourself in pleasures

Till your bodies goin' numb

But will it ever be enough

You know it'll never be enough

You can always take whatever

You can see them if you want

But 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

And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts

Of men today

It's a city of shadows

It's a city of life

It's a city of cruelty

It's a city of prize

It'll be over now

All i wanted was a piece of the night

I never gotta equal share

When the stars are all outside

And the moon is down

The natives are so restless tonight

All i needed was a spot in the light

Never had to get so dark

The natives are so restless tonight

All i needed was a spot in the light...

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

And i'm gone with the wind

Endlessly searching for an original sin...

(repeat)

(repeat)

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...

Put it all on the bill...

Cause we'll always be paying

And paying until...

Were beyond expiration...

With a license to thrill....

(chorus)
