And he gave it a ten dollar raise
(By grace, my sight, grows stronger)
And 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
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage
But there was a time, I asked my father for a dollar
My place is of the sun and, this place is of the dark
I was half the naked distance between hell and heavens ceiling
She stayed with me for days
And when I needed my mother and I called her
My place is of the sun and, this place is of the dark
No one can convince me, we aren't gluttons for our doom
My sight
I said, I have no way of feeding you, so leave
I couldn't hear them for the thunder
The words of my heart lined up like, prisoners on a fence
Maybe there's no haven in this world, for tender age
Is growing stronger
And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
(Grows stronger)

(Someone's on the telephone)
For the prince of darkness, any longer
I will not be a pawn
Yea, but I'll tell you
I tried to make this place, my place
Now, someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
My place is of the sun and, this place is of the dark
And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
(I do not feel the romance)
The dreams came in like needy children, tugging at my sleeve
But I'll tell you
And I do not feel the romance, I will not be
No one can convince me, we aren't gluttons for our doom
And he almost pulled me under
My place is of the sun, and this place is of the dark
By grace
But I tried to make this place, my place
And my heart flew from its cage, and it bled upon my sleeve
I asked for providence to smile upon me, with his sweet face
I asked for providence to smile upon me, with his sweet face
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine

(I will not be)
My place is of the sun and, this place is of the dark
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Ohh, the cries of passion were like wounds, that needed healing
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
My greatest hope, my greatest cause to grieve
And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
(And I will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness, any longer)
(This place is of the dark)
My place is of the sun and, this place is of the dark
(My place is of the sun)
And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
