From the brightest star / Comes the blackest hole / You had so much to offer / Why did you offer your soul? / I was there for you baby / When you needed my help / Would you deny for others / What you demand for yourself?
Cool down mama, cool off / Cool down mama, cool off
You speak of signs and wonders / I need something other / I would believe if I was able / But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see / Then your face caught up with your psychology / With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends / And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders / But I need something other / I would believe if I was able / But I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide / Whether you live or whether you die / Three to a bed / Sister Ann, she said / Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs and wonders / But I need something other / I would believe if I was able / I’m waiting on the crumbs from your table
