Prince of Darkness
------ -- --------
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
When I needed my mother and I called her
She stayed with me for days
And 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
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
  (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
heavens ceiling
And he almost pulled me 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
But I'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the
dark
  (By grace, my sight grows stronger, grows
stronger)
I do not feel the romance I do not catch the
spark
   (And I will not be a pawn for the Prince of
Darkness any longer)
