[Verse 1]
I lost my spine inside the center of a star
And every day I wonder where the bad bones are
You'll die an ugly day if you hit and miss
I know my own granddaddy worked so hard for this

[Chorus]
It seems so sinful living like a porcupine
I know you're dreaming of the time when you were mine
It seems so sinful, it seems so sinful
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
You kicked me out and hung a rope down from the roof
The Christians came out, they watched me tie my noose
I spoke a silent prayer, they began crying
They knew that I'd applied to hell, they knew I got in

[Chorus]
It seems so sinful living like a porcupine
I know you're dreaming of the time when you were mine
It seems so sinful, it seems so sinful
Ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
It seems so simple now, ooh
It seems so sinful, ooh

[Outro]
It seems so sinful, it seems so sinful
Ooh
It seems so sinful, it seems so sinful
Ooh
It seems so sinful, it seems so sinful
Ooh

Marina Diamandis

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
