Lyrics
Price You Have to Pay
by John O'Connell
4.20min
Do you know when you go to bed
You've talked too much
Slept just a little
You wake up dead with a banging head.
You've been talking dribble
You sit up straight
Crunch up your face
Scratch yourself in the middle
And the kitchen sink from the night before
Says it all
You've been livin' amongst the grease
And the grime of everyday.
You had your chance
but you threw it all away.
Do you know when you're lying dead
And you think to yourself
Why the hell was I livin'
When the peace and love
That you sought to gain
It was all in the givin'
But the life you had
Well it drive you mad
So who the hell are you kiddin'?
Cos if you choose to stay
Then the price you pay
Will be you're own undoing.
You take your coat
And a picture from the hall.
You leave your note
Saying you drove me up the wall.
But you take the weight off my shoulders
Though I will never know the price you have had to pay.
You make my day a bright one
Though I'll never know the price you have had to pay.
Do you know when you go to bed
You've talked too much
Slept just a little
You wake up dead with a banging head.
You've been talking dribble
You sit up straight
Crunch up your face
Scratch yourself in the middle
And the kitchen sink from the night before
Says it all
You've been livin' amongst the grease
And the grime of everyday.
You had your chance
but you threw it all away.
But you take the weight off my shoulders
Though I will never know the price you have had to pay.
You make my day a bright one
Though I'll never know the price you have had to pay.
