Prince Of Darkness

Indigo Girls

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)
