The Price Was High Lyrics

The special way the hunt began and ended with London on my mind
The nights from days and letters penned in earnest with heartstrings sent unsigned

In a round about sway
Not a word
Not a sound
All's forgiven anyway

Haven't even slept so I'm quiet as I'm kept and more or less concussed for years
But I can't shake your body so I shake mine instead when it's time to percuss

In a round about sway
Not a word
Not a sound
All's forgiven anyway


Names escaped run amok with bottle caps for eyes
The nights from days ferried east and ended with no one getting wise
On the Champs-Elysees on no rest you fluoresce
All's forgiven for forgotten men and women more or less

In a round about sway
Not a word
Not a sound
All's forgiven by the way
Men and women it's time to percuss
