Indigo Girls - Prince Of Darkness

My place is of the sun, and
this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii)
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 angry feelings came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve
I said I have no way of feeding you so leave
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 (daay-eehh-hayys)

chorus
now someone's on the telephone
desperate in his pain
someone's on the bathroom floor
doin her cocaine
someone's got his finger on the button in some room
no one can convince me we are 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

and I'll tell you
my place is of the sun, and
this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii)
I do not feel the romance
I do not catch the spark
my place is of the sun, and
this place is of the dark, and (and I-hii)
and I will not be a pawn
for the Prince of Darkness

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 from the thunder
I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling
and he almost pulled me under (ohhh-uhh-hooo)
