Intro
Chorus
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And I, 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 I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
Instrumental
Verse 1
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
My 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
And when I needed my mother and I called her
She stayed with me for days
Bridge
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
D D/C# F#7 N.C.
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 its sweet face;
G N.C.
Yeah, but I'll tell you:
Chorus
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And I, 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 I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
G N.C.
And I will not be a pawn
Gm N.C.
For the Prince of Darkness
Any longer
Verse 2
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
Bridge
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
D D/C# F#7 N.C.
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 its sweet face;

Chorus
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And I, 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 I, 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
