INXS - Original Sin Lyrics
Mediate
Dessegregate
Mediate
Alleviate
Try not to hate
Love your mate
Don't suffocate on your own hate
Designate your love as fate
A one world state
As human freight
The number eight
A white black state
A gentle trait
The broken crate
A heavy weight
Or just too late
Like pretty Kate has sex ornate
Now devastate
Appreciate
Depreciate
Fabricate
Emulate
The truth dilate
Special date
The animal we ate
Guilt debate
The edge serrate
A better rate
The youth irate
Deliberate
Fascinate
Deviate
Reinstate
Liberate
To moderate
Recreate
Or detonate
Annihiliate
Atomic fate
Mediate
Clear the state
Activate
Now radiate
A perfect state
Food on plate
Gravitate
The Earth's own weight
Designate your love as fate
At ninety-eight we all rotate
Hallucinate
Dessegregate
Mediate
Alleviate
Try not to hate
Love your mate
Don't suffocate on your own hate
Designate your love as fate
A one world state
As human freight
The number eight
A white black state
A gentle trait
The broken crate
A heavy weight
Or just too late
Like pretty Kate has sex ornate
Now devastate
Appreciate
Depreciate
Fabricate
Emulate
The truth dilate
Special date
The animals we ate
Guilt debate
The edge serrate
A better rate
The youth irate
Deliberate
Fascinate
Deviate
Reinstate
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate

Original Sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love? Yeah, you thought, what a pity
Dream on white boy (white boy)
Dream on black girl (black girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away
There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and held by many
Well, I'm sure you had to see it's open arms
Dream on white boy (white boy)
Dream on black girl (black girl)
Then wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
You might know of the original sin
You might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love? Yeah, you thought, what a pity
Dream on white boy (white boy)
Dream on black girl (black girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy (black boy)
Dream on white girl (white girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on black boy (black boy)
Dream on white girl (white girl)
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl
Dream on
In the name of love, yeah
You thought what a pity
Yeah

Never Tear Us Apart
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
I (don't ask me)
I was standing (you know it's true)
Mm, you were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (we're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
You (don't ask me)
You were standing (you know it's true)
I was there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (we're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided

Beautiful Girl
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside, she says
Stay with me
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wanna go home
From doorway to doorway
Street corner to corner
With neon ghosts in the city
And she says
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
(Stay with me, stay with me)
She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wants to go home
Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me, beautiful girl

New Sensation
Now that the day is over
I got a new sensation
In perfect moments
Well, so impossible to refuse
Sleep, baby, sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes
Like a god into our room
All perfect light and promises
Got a hold on you
A new sensation, a new sensation
Right now, it's gonna take you over
A new sensation, a new sensation
Dream, baby, dream
Of all that's come and goin'
And you will find out in the end
There really is
There really is no difference
Cry, baby, cry
When you got to get it out
I'll be your shoulder
You can tell me all
Don't keep it in ya
Well, that's the reason why I'm here
Hey, hey
Are you ready for a new sensation? A new sensation
Right now
Gonna take you over
A new sensation, a new sensation
Trumpet
A new sensation, a new sensation
Hey
A new sensation
Hate, baby, hate
When there's nothing left for you
You're only human, what can you do?
It'll soon be over
Don't let your pain take over you
Love, baby, love
It's written all over your face
There's nothing better we could do
Than live forever
Well, that's all we've got to do
Hey now, uh
I'm gonna take you over
A new sensation, a new sensation
Right now
Got a hold on you
A new sensation, a new sensation
A new sensation, a new sensation
A new sensation

Just Keep Walking
Broken bottles - bricks and dirt
Sunshine soothing - clouds are hazy
Dark street corners - feeling lazy
Fast car driving
Sleek and modern
Public Transit
Photos Waiting
Blood and glass
Three points of rain
Carpet Lining
Seats reclining
Clever words on smooth tongue talking
Shove it brother - Just Keep Walking
City Penthouse - the kitchen living
A country home - it's a kitch living
Money can buy almost anything
But anything's nothing - when you're dead

Mystify
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving broken hearts behind
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
None have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive
Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind
You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they'll kiss you every night

To Look At You
For a different kind of girl
Who knows the feelings
But never the words
To look at you
And never speak
Is so good
For me tonite
Who do you ask when there's no one
Left to turn to
You ask me and I'll always try to hear
Past money and colours and make believe
Good cheap values for a thrifty clown
To Look at You
And never speak
Is so good
For me tonite
What do you fear in the simple
Still of a summer's nite
I understand I sympathize for a day dream
Fairytales and I love you
What is the name to call
For a different kind of girl
Who knows the feeling's
But never the words
To this ... real life documentary

Kick
Come on
Come on
Come on
I look around
Unsatisfied
At what they're giving me
But then I think
To myself
Is there someone else
Oh, who feels the same as me
Do you feel the same baby
When my back is broken
When the mountain moves away
All the dreams and promises
That we give
We give away
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked, oh
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked, baby
Look ahead
But don't mix it up
Baby look ahead
To better days
And better ways
Make peace
With flesh and blood
Make peace
With your love
Nothing more I could ask of you
But in the end this is the truth
When my back is broken
When the mountain moves away
All the dreams and promises
That we give
We give away
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick, oh
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked, oh

Dont Change
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark
For too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

The Stairs
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street we pass each other
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street we pass each other
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you lead
Are you sure that you don't care?
There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different, all are great
Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves with quiet grace
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
