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 design
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
They 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 design
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
To try to make a wrong thing right
That's when everything
Ain't too high a price to pay
