Original Sin

I want to hear you tell me
So many things tonight
Just keep the motor running
Hold the steering wheel tight
'Cause what you want
Is just what I got
We'd better just call in sick
And take the whole day off
Well call me crazy 'cause I
Just can't seem to keep my calm
You crank my crankshaft then you
Keep me hanging on and on
You just keep me hanging on and on
That ain't right

I can't believe the state that you're in
A victim of original sin
I wasn't there for the fall
But this just doesn't feel evil at all

Eve eats her apple thinking
"How can I kill some time?"
Then she slowly smiles
A knowing look in her eye
She says to Adam "Honey
Sit back and enjoy the show
I've learned a few things that
I think you ought to know"
She makes him crazy
He just can't seem to keep his calm
He returns the favour and they
Keep it going on and on yeah
They just keep on keeping on and on
Yeah they do

I can't believe the state that you're in
A victim of original sin
I wasn't there for the fall
But this just doesn't feel evil at all

Deep into the night
You got me feeling alright
That's when the voices start
Creeping up on you
Keeping me from you
'Cause all that you can see is the light

Two thousand years and running
Seems like a waste of time
When you think of all that loving lost
Good lord it's a crime
Won't someone tell me something
I can't help but thinking of
Why should it be so hard to
Live and let love
Why should why should it
Why should it be so hard

I can't believe the state that you're in
A victim of original sin
I wasn't there for the fall
But this just doesn't feel evil at all
Oh I can't believe the state that you're in
A victim of original sin
I wasn't there for the fall
But this just doesn't feel evil at all

Why do you keep me hanging on
Tell me baby
How can you keep me hanging on
Oh I want to know
Baby
How can you keep me hanging on
I want to know I want to know I want to know
Why do you keep me hanging on
How can you keep me hanging on
Why do you keep me hanging on
