Lyrics

My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark, and I
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
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
And 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 (Days)

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 b***on in some room
No one can convince me we're not 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
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
'Cause my heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage
And 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 pa**ion were like wounds that needed healing
I, I couldn't hear them for the thunder
I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling
And he almost pulled me under (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 b***on in some room
No one can convince me we're not gluttons for our doom
But I've tried to make this place my place
I've 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
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
(I feel it's growing stronger)
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(By grace, my sight's growing stronger)
I do not feel the romance, I will not be
(And I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer)

Alright. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for singing.
