Live-back

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
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 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
And when i needed my mother and i called her
She stayed with me for days
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
Yeah but i'll tell you
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
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And i do not feel the romance i will not be
(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
Oh 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
And 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 do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
(grows stronger)
By grace
(my place is of the sun)
My sight
(and this place is of the dark)
Is growing stronger
(i do not feel the romance)
I will not be a pawn
(i will not be)
For the prince of darkness any longer

Pain from pearls -hey little girl
How much have you grown
Pain from pearls - hey little girl
Flower for the ones you've known

Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears

Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside

Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Your kid fears

Skipping stones, we know the price now
And any sin will do
How much further, if you can spin
How much further, if you are smooth

Are you on fire
[are you on fire]
From the years
[from the years?]
What would you give
For your kid fears
[what would you give]
[what would replace the rent with the stars above]
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[replace the need with love]
(replace the need with love)
[replace the anger with the tide]
(replace the anger with the tide)
[replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love]
(replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love)
Ah the ones that you love
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
What would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
[what would you give]
For your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
(the ones that you love)
Hold on now
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
And what would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
For your kid fears
[what would you give]
(for the ones that you love)
What would you give
(the ones that you love)
For you kid fears?
[what would you give]
What would you give for your kid fears
Your kid fears
Hey kids
Hold on

There must be some kinda way way out of here
Oh said the joker to the thief
I want to tell you now
You know there's just too much confusion
And i can't no i can't get no relief
Ah these businessmen they all they drink our wine
And the plowman well he dig my earth
And you know that ah none of them along the line
Can show me what any of this is worth
You know we wanted to see it now didn't we
Didn't we

There ain't no reason to get excited
Ah the thief you know he kindly spoke
Well now there are those among us right here right now
Who still see life as some kind of a joke
But you and i we have been through that
I tell you that this this is not our fate no no no
Now let us all not talk falsely now
You know the hour well it's getting late

I said all along the watchtower
The princes they kept the view
While the women the women
They came and then they went
And barefoot servants too
That's me that's you
But outside there's a cold distance
Listen for the wildcats
Here them growl
Two riders were approaching
As the wind began to howl
I said now shelter me

Oh there are those among us right here right now
Who still see life as some kind of a joke
All along the watchtower
I said all along this watchtower
Those of you who still have eyes to see
Ears hear me
You will be saved by grace in the end
Saved by time if you don't understand
That your hatred is rooted in your fear
And your paranoia and insecurities
Well they don't belong here
You got to take someones hand
You got to learn to make your stand
And it's one two three four
Look at the sky you can open the door
And take my hand
Take my hand
Take my hand
Ah don't you want to touch
Don't you want to feel
Don't you know that this is real
I said shelter me
Shelter me
Shelter me
Shelter me
And save yourself
Save yourself
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save your
Save
And you
You
And you are a part of the world
You you are a part of the world
You gotta learn to touch to feel
And know that you are real
I said learn learn
You are a part of the world
