Everything

Well it ain't like me to come right out and say

But this is not an ordinary day

A momentary lapse of reason

One little act of treason

Like everything ain't too high a price to pay

Well the devil, he comes knocking at my door

Never once occurred to me to pray

Brief negotiation

It's a strange situation

When everything ain't too high a price to pay

So long, hopes and dreams and grand designs

So long, yeah life does seem long sometimes

Time off for good behavior

Like a soldier or a savior

And everything ain't too high a price to pay

Better deals are out there to be made

A man needs collateral these days

It sound good at the time I guess

But there in that fine print it says

That everything ain't too high a price to pay

So long, hopes and dreams and grand designs

So long, yeah life does drag on sometimes

Time off for good behavior

Like a soldier or a savior

And everything ain't too high a price to pay

Well I always heard but now I understand

You can't take it with you anyway

What's it worth to sacrifice

And try to make a wrong thing right

That's when everything ain't too high a price to pay
