           A          G
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?

 A         G     A      G
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off

Chorus:
      Em                G
You speak of signs and wonders
       D             A
But I need something other
          Em             G
I would believe if I was able
                        Bm               G
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

Chorus

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by

Chorus
