The Price Lyrics - New Model Army

Splashing through the water on the motorway 

The headlights shine in every drop of rain 

And every mile takes a minute and every minute lasts an hour 

And there's so many miles until I'm home again 

And staring through the gathering mists on the windscreen 

I see that paying the prices came so soon 

And I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me 

Than they've ever cut into you 

[Chorus:] 

And still the fires won't go out 

That no power of the mind can drive away 

And still all I ever see are your eyes calling 

And the sadness and the hatred and the love and the pain 

Everybody knows this aching like an old friend 

And everybody feels it the same 

But I'm out here in this desperate night in the middle of nowhere 

Driving faster, faster through the rain 

Ch: And still the fires won't go out 

Am I trying to raise a toast when the glass is already empty? 

Am I paying the price now the wasted years are through? 

I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me 

Than they'll ever cut into you
