Original Lust
Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys
From the album Wildlife Dictionary (1997)
Touchin' and a feelin' or starin' at the ceiling
The fan blows scents across the room
Overcome the crush of the monstro
And the blush of the bride and groom
Original lust, original sin
That's where I came in
But where does it end
Original lust
Goes all the way back
To ashes and dust
Original lust
In these times of passion violent crimes and fashion
A boy learns how to slap a girl
Everybody rush let's kill the b-word
With a shot heard round the world
Original lust, original sin
That's where I came in
But where does it end
Original lust
Goes all the way back
To ashes and dust
But who can you trust
I don't wanna ban the body
I just wanna ban the bomb
I don't wanna hurt anybody
I just wanna sound the alarm
Touchin' and revealin' or starin' at the ceiling
A man blows smoke across the room
Overcome the crush of the maestro
And the blush of a maid in bloom
Original lust, original sin
That's where I came in
But where does it end
Original lust
Goes all the way back
To ashes and dust
Original lust
Ooh lust, sin
Goes all the way back
To ashes and dust
Ooh trust
That's where I came in
All the way back
But where does it end
Original lust
