Indigo Girls - Prince Of Darkness Lyrics
My place is of the sun and this place is of the darkAnd I do not feel the romance I do not catch the sparkMy place is of the sun and this place is of the darkAnd I do not feel the romance I do not catch the sparkI dont know when I noticed life was life at my expenseThe words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fenceThe dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeveI said I have no way of feeding you, so leaveBut there was a time I asked my father for a dollarAnd he gave it a ten dollar raiseAnd when I needed my mother and I called herShe stayed with me for daysNow someones on the telephone, desperate in his painSomeones on the bathroom floor doing her cocaineSomeones got his finger on the button in some roomNo one can convince me we arent gluttons for our doomBut I tried to make this place my placeI asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet faceYeah but Ill tell youMy place is of the sun and this place is of the darkAnd I do not feel the romance I do not catch the sparkMy 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 theres no haven in this world for tender ageMy heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cageMy greatest hope my greatest cause to grieveAnd my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeveOh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healingI couldnt hear them for the thunderI was half the ***** distance between hell and heavens ceilingAnd he almost pulled me underNow someones on the telephone, desperate in his painSomeones on the bathroom floor doing her cocaineSomeones got his finger on the button in some roomNo one can convince me we arent gluttons for our doomBut I tried to make this place my placeI asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet faceBut Ill tell youMy place is of the sun and this place is of the darkAnd I do not feel the romance I do not catch the sparkMy 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(and 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
