Crumbs From Your Table Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
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
[Bridge]
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she says
"Dignity passes by"
[Chorus]
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 (Hey)
