Indigo Girls F/ - Prince Of Darkness lyrics

My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark 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 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 Someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her c**aine Someone's got his finger on the bu*ton 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 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 I do not feel the romance, 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 pa**ion 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 it almost pulled me under Someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her c**aine Someone's got his finger on the bu*ton in some room No one can convince me, we're not gluttons for our doom We should keep on trying to make this place our place And ask for providence to smile upon the whole world With his sweet face, we'll sing it together My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark 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 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 I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun, this place is of the dark I do not feel the romance, I will not be a pawn For the prince of darkness any longer
