In the real world
|
All that gold
|
All that silver prove
|
Is that the powerful own the truth
|
With their Heckle and Jeckyll smiles
|
Down to nickels and dimes
|
The lawyers will sue
|
What those bastards won't do
|
But sometimes with you
|
I can leave this place
|
And fall into your sky
|
And sometimes with you
|
I can lose myself
|
Without an alibi
|
Salvation and clues
|
I get from you
|
And I shoot out the lights
|
In a room with a view
|
Bought and paid for
|
With the price of my tears
|
Na na na na na na na yeah
|
On the TV
|
There's a sitcom about success
|
About winning and nothing less
|
Little Caesars with suits and ties
|
With their dollar sign eyes
|
Canned laughter and lies
|
They're everything I despise
|
But sometimes with you
|
I can fall into your sky
|
And I can fade
|
And sometimes with you
|
I can leave myself
|
And join in your parade
|
Salvation and clues
|
Are the things I want
|
The things I get from you
|
Sometimes I withdraw
|
With the echo of you
|
Inside of myself
|
To a room with a view
|
It? bought and paid for
|
With the price of my tears
|
So I lay down my heart
|
When I lay down with you
|
In a world of possessions
|
You're my only clue
|
Why I stay here
|
When the price is my tears
|
Na na na na na na na yeah
|
The price of my tears
|
Yeah
|
Everything comes clear
|
The price of my tears
|
Year after year
|
Yeah
|
The price of my tears
|
Na na na na na na
|
The price of my tears
|
|

Price of My Tears
