[Verse 1]
You came in black
Like a vow at dusk
Then the room went warm
And the fear clicked pause
Three dark smiles
At the edge of sleep
They knew my name
Before I could speak
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Come closer"
Soft as smoke
"Bare your halo and let it choke"
My hands shook once
Then held too tight
I felt them basking
In my light
[Chorus]
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
They haunt my dreams
And pull me in
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
Holy man, falls
Falls back again
[Verse 2]
In the chapel hush
At the break of noon
One brush of a hand
And the walls lost tune
They leaned to my ear
With a velvet grin
Said, "Pray all you want
We're already in"
My golden thoughts
Turned red and slow
Every sacred rule
Started losing glow
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Don't fight it"
"Let it bloom"
"Open that heaven
In your room"
My pulse said yes
My tongue stayed still
Then all my vows
Bent to their will
[Chorus]
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
They haunt my dreams
And pull me in
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
Holy man, falls
Falls back again
[Bridge]
Now I wake up smiling
With a fevered mind
Their perfume lingers
Where my mind would hide
If I was pure
I'm not that now
I learned temptation
By a lowered brow
[Final Chorus]
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
They haunt my dreams
And pull me in
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
Holy man, falls
And will fall back again
Sweet little sin
Sweet little sin
I said amen
Then let them in
