My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark |
|
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark |
|
I don't know when i noticed life was life at my expense |
|
The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence |
|
The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve |
|
I said i have no way of feeding you, so leave |
|
But there was a time i asked my father for a dollar |
|
And he gave it a ten dollar raise |
|
And when i needed my mother and i called her |
|
She stayed with me for days |
|
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain |
|
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine |
|
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room |
|
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom |
|
But i tried to make this place my place |
|
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face |
|
Yeah but i'll tell you |
|
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark |
|
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
(by grace, my sight grows stronger) |
|
And i do not feel the romance i will not be |
|
(and i will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness any longer) |
|
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age |
|
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage |
|
My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve |
|
And my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve |
|
Oh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing |
|
I couldn't hear them for the thunder |
|
I was half the naked distance between hell and heavens ceiling |
|
And he almost pulled me under |
|
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain |
|
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine |
|
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room |
|
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom |
|
But i tried to make this place my place |
|
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face |
|
But i'll tell you |
|
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark |
|
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark |
|
(by grace, my sight grows stronger) |
|
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark |
|
(grows stronger) |
|
By grace |
|
(my place is of the sun) |
|
My sight |
|
(and this place is of the dark) |
|
Is growing stronger |
|
(i do not feel the romance) |
|
I will not be a pawn |
|
(i will not be) |
|
For the prince of darkness any longer |
