[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 said

"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)
