Prince of Darkness

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 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 When I needed my mother and I called her She stayed with me for days (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) 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 will not be... (By grace, my sight grows stronger 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 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 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 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) 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 will not be... (By grace, my sight grows stronger and I will not Be a Pawn For the Prince of Darkness any longer)
