Too High A Price

(From “Ruby & The Rockits”)

You thought I was sweet,
Thought I was good.
Said all the lines they thought I should,
When did I change.
Why’d I die, make a face
Who lives a lie.
Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew.

Cause all that glitter, isn’t gold.
I got lost along the way,
Saw my horizon, with my soul.
It’s the price you have to pay.
It’s too high, the price to pay.

All my dreams, all my words
I didn’t say, you want penny’s worth.
Traded my heart, for shiny things.
A little twist to my arm, and you know I’ll sing.
Say goodbye to everything, I thought I knew.

Cause all that glitter, isn’t gold.
I got lost along the way.
Saw my horizon, with my soul.
It’s the price to pay.
It’s not who you are, it’s who you know.
Empty your heart and the money flows.
Just like glitter, isn’t gold.
It’s the price that you might pay.
It’s too high, the price to pay.

Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew.

Cause all that glitter, isn’t gold.
I got lost along the way.
Saw my horizon, with my soul.
It’s not who you are, it’s who you know.
Empty your heart and the money flows.
Just like glitter, isn’t gold.
It’s the price that you might pay.
It’s too high, a price.
It’s too high, a price.
