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
 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 (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 (By grace, my sight)
 This place is of the dark (Grows stronger)
 And I do not feel the romance
 And I will not be a pawn (I will not be)
 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 (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)
 I do not feel the romance
 I do not catch the spark
 My place is of the sun and (By grace, my sight)
 This place is of the dark (Grows stronger)
 And I do not feel the romance (Grows stronger)
 I do not catch the spark (By grace)
 My place is of the sun and (My sight)
 This place is of the dark and (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
