Price Of My Tears Lyrics - John Waite

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 

Its 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
