"Original Sin" lyrics

"Original Sin"
(feat. Bobby Gillespie)

I've seen it with my own two eyes
The river fire, and the whipping lines
The cracking earth, and the boiling sea
I've seen the end of everything
I seen him up there, on his throne
Made out of my loved ones bones

I seen the devil, behind my words
The words I say when I feel hurt
And I hear the devil in the back of my mind
Not every day, just some of the time
Oh God, oh yeah, oh God, oh yeah

I seen him with my own two eyes
Lost and lustful, love's desire
I watched him turn true love to hate
True love to filth, true love to waste
I seen him up there eating souls
Watched him 'cause my pain to flow

I seen the devil, behind my words
The words I say when I feel hurt
And I hear the devil in the back of my mind
Not every day, just some of the time
Oh God, oh yeah, oh God, oh yeah

I got Jesus in my head like a stinger
He moves from tree to tree in the back of my mind
A ragged shadowy figure, I got Him
I got original Sin, I got original Sin, I got original Sin

Can't do right, I must be wrong
I've been running from the devil since the day I was born
Temptation is a bitch I can't refuse
Her legs wide open in her high heeled shoes, I got him
I got original Sin, I got original Sin

I find myself on a deviant road
With the stoned and fallen women, where the bad blood flows
Where lost souls gather, crying in pain
Sad copulation, all trying in vain
To reach a destination that doesn't exist
So we have another line, we have another kiss
And we got no love, we got no home
I'll meet you down where the buffalo roam, I got him
I got original Sin, I got original Sin, I got original Sin
Sin, Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin
