Original Sin
Meat Loaf Lyrics

I've been looking for an original sin.
I am in search of something unique and ground-breaking.

One with a twist and a bit of a spin.
One that has a different perspective and approach.

I've done all of the old ones.
I have explored and exhausted all the traditional options.

Till they've all been done in.
Until they no longer remain relevant or effective.

Now I'm just looking
Currently, I have nothing specific in mind.

Then I'm gone with the wind
Soon enough, I'll move on to another idea or notion.

Endlessly searching for an original sin.
Continually striving for something unconventional and extraordinary.

You can dance forever.
You can enjoy life to the fullest.

You got a fire in your feet.
You have an intense desire to achieve your goals.

But will it ever be enough?
However, will it satiate your hunger for more?

You know it'll never be enough.
You are aware that it won't be satisfactory.

You can fly and never land.
You can take risks and push yourself to the limit.

And never need to sleep.
You can work tirelessly without rest or fatigue.

Not enough to make the nightmares go away.
It won't be sufficient to alleviate your fears.

Not enough to make the tears run dry.
It won't be enough to stop you from crying.

Not enough to live a little better every day.
It won't make your life substantially better.

Everything that they taught us.
All the things we have learned.

Was nothing but lies.
Have been nothing but untruthful.

Everything thing they brought us.
All the things we have acquired.

Was nothing but bribes.
Have been nothing but incentives for our loyalty.

But it'll all be over now
However, it will all come to an end.

All I wanted was a piece of the night.
All I wished for was a share of the darkness.

I never got an equal share.
I didn't receive a fair allocation.

When the stars are out of sight.
When the celestial bodies are obscured or absent.

And the moon is down
When the moon is invisible.

The natives are so restless tonight.
People are agitated and uncomfortable.

I've been looking for the ultimate crime.
I am pursuing the most extreme offence.

Infinite victims, infinitesimal time
Too many victims, too little time.

And I'm so guilty for no reson or rhyme.
And I am unfairly culpable without reason or explanation.

So now I'm just looking.
So now I am still searching for my objective.

And killing some time
And killing time while I do so.

I'm applying for a license to thrill.
I am applying to experience a thrilling adventure.

Going out on the edge
Taking risks and going to extremes.

Moving in for the kill.
Preparing to finish my goal.

They'll be hell to pay someday.
There will be a significant price to pay for everyone involved.

So put it all on the bill.
Put all the associated costs on this bill, which we will later pay.

Cause we'll always be paying!
Because we will continually be paying a high price.

And paying until
And paying forever unless.

We're beyond expiration.
We're beyond ending or dying.

With a license to thrill.
With permission to seek excitement and exhilaration.
