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 telephone)
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
Yea, 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

Ohh, 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 telephone)
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
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
(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
