Original Sin (Theme from "The Shadow") - Taylor Dayne

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

You can dance forever

You’ve 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

And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men today

It’s a city of shadow

It’s a city of lies

It’s a city of secrets

It’s a city of crime

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

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

I’ve been looking for the ultimate crime

Infinite victims, infinitesimal 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 lose yourself in pleasure

Till your body’s goin numb

But will it ever be enough

You know that it’ll never be enough

YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE WHATEVER

YOU CONCEIVE OF IF YOU 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

And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men today

It’s a city of shadow

It’s a city of crime

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

And I’m gone with the wind

Endlessly searching for an original sin

Repeat

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

I’ve been looking for an original sin
