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 My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark (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 heaven's ceiling And it 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
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 of spark 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)

Their first album is one of the few recordings of any kind that I've had a copy of in one form or another since it was first released (I've gone through two cassettes and 2 CD's of it if I remember right).

4. Oddly, their first album is the only one of theirs I've ever paid for |
|
I've received others as gifts or had mix-tapes containing other songs made for me, but I've never bought any of their other albums.
The tapes just died from old age, and I lost one copy of the CD when I moved from California to Mass. I'm on my second copy of the CD now :).
