The Price Was High

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

In a round about sway

Not a word, not a sound

All's forgiven anyway

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

In a round about sway

Not a word, not a sound

All's forgiven anyway

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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-Élysées on no rest, you fluoresce

All's forgiven for forgotten men and women, more or less

[Chorus]

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
