Indigo Girls - Prince Of Darkness lyrics
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark<br>My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark<br><br>I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense<br>The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence<br>The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve<br>I said I have no way of feeding you, so leave<br>But there was a time I asked my father for a dollar<br>And he gave it a ten dollar raise<br>And when I needed my mother and I called her<br>She stayed with me for days<br>Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain<br>Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine<br>Someone's got his finger on the button in some room<br>No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom<br>But I tried to make this place my place<br>I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face<br>Yeah but I'll tell you<br>My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark<br>My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>(by grace, my sight grows stronger)<br>And I do not feel the romance I will not be<br>(and I will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness any longer)<br><br>Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age<br>My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage<br>My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve<br>And my heart flew from it's cage and it bled upon my sleeve<br>Oh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing<br>I couldn't hear them for the thunder<br>I was half the naked distance between hell and heavens ceiling<br>And he almost pulled me under<br>Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain<br>Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine<br>Someone's got his finger on the button in some room<br>No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom<br>But I tried to make this place my place<br>I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face<br>But I'll tell you<br>My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark<br>My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark<br>(by grace, my sight grows stronger)<br>And I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark<br>(grows stronger)<br>By grace<br>(my place is of the sun)<br>My sight<br>(and this place is of the dark)<br>Is growing stronger<br>(I do not feel the romance)<br>I will not be a pawn<br>(I will not be)<br>For the prince of darkness any longer
