Price to Pay - Moonlight Travellers

Standing here with a tale to tell I might as well tell to you Nothing near Wagnerian As Terminator Two It's an old one about a little dirt farm girl Who wanted to get out for good She would do anything to keep that dream Anything she could Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just couldn't believe There was a price to pay Her very first chance to escape that year Came when the circus had come to town She wound up in bed and quite madly in love With some rubber nose juggling clown He promised he'd return for her come next spring And he swore that he wouldn't forget So needless to say, came the following May More than her appetite was getting wet She proceeded unheeded and quite undefeated To the trailer behind the tent And her heart began to soar at his trailer door She was going wherever he went Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just couldn't believe There was a price to pay He arrived at last at about half past With a girl under every arm But all of this in itself, could be innocent as hell But what began to cause her alarm Was when he locked the door behind him like she'd always been She was standing alone in the dirt And her eyes were so dry that she began to cry And something began to hurt She wanted to tear the hair out of her head Yeah and she wanted to wish that she was dead But a voice in her just would not let her drop And her heart began to break but it didn't stop "Run all your races Don't you fear You and I Are getting out of here And we'll survive That I guarantee 'Cause you don't need much When all you have is me" She listened to the little voice in her And then she hit the road Free at last with just a tiny scar And finally on her own No one knows what became of her All we know is she got away And though there really ain't no guarantees down here I'd like to think she did okay Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just wouldn't believe That there's a price to pay Yeah that there's a price to pay No that there's a price to pay There's a price to pay

Things never seem to go according to plan So we always end up compromising We're not smart enough to have a Plan B at hand So we always end up improvising It's killing us to settle with the cards we get When we know there's much more at stake But giving in to pressure is the safest bet And it's also our biggest mistake That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay We never asked to be put into this position We never had high demands We never claimed to be on some kind of mission Like we had some kind of masterplan It's not as if we know exactly what we came for So we settle for what comes our way We're always unprepared for the final encore What the fuck are we supposed to say? That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay That's the price we pay Every move we make, every step we take That's the price we pay Every rule we break, every move we fake That's the price we pay Every move we make, every step we take That's the price we pay Every rule we break, every move we fake That's the price we pay

Something's wrong in this house today While the master was riding the servants decided to play Something's wrong in this house today Something's been going on, there may be a price to pay There's evil brewing getting out of control And I'm helpless, I can't put it right Something unrighteous is possessing my soul And it's cold in the heat of the night Something's wrong in this house today While the sorcerer slept the apprentice decided to play While the master was hiding the servants decided to play Might be too much sun, or too much of something in the air Whatever's happening, nobody else is aware There's evil brewing getting out of control And I'm helpless, I can't put it right Something unrighteous is possessing my soul And it's cold in the heat of the night Something's wrong in this house today Something's been going on, there may be a price to pay
