In the beginning there was sinning
 
 and in the end, well, let's pretend
 
 blessed is the fruit I dare you
 
 to take another bite of it
 
 and somehow I think you will
 
 in spite of it
 
  
  O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane
 
 O'no no no no no no no is desire a ball and chain
 
 O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane
 
 Sweet sixteen with a letter between
 
 Mother, virtue won't you explain?
  
 
 Harvest of victims for the church of no return
  
 
 In the beginning there was sinning
 
 and we made love like animals
 
 out of wedlock
 
 away back when it was the laws of nature
 
 not gods or men
 
 and in the end, well, let's pretend
  
 
 O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane
 
 O'no no no no no no no is desire a ball and chain
 
 O'no no no no no no no passion like a hurricane
 
 Sweet sixteen with a letter between
 
 Mother, virtue won't you explain?
  
 
 Harvest of victims for the church of no return
  
 
 In the beginning a hurricane
 
 transgressed the law
 
 and there was fire and desire, passion and smoke
 
 and from the mist that chilled the ashes
 
 came the men
 
 with the words of right and wrong, huh!
  
 
 Yea let's pretend again
