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
It's 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
