The Price Was High Lyrics by Drop Nineteens

Hard Light

2023

[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
