new model army
the price
Splashing through the water on the motorway The headlights shine in every drop of rain And every mile takes a minute and every minute lasts an hour And there's so many miles until I'm home again  And staring through the gathering mists on the windscreen I see that paying the prices came so soon And I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me Than they've ever cut into you   [Chorus:] And still the fires won't go out That no power of the mind can drive away And still all I ever see are your eyes calling And the sadness and the hatred and the love and the pain   Everybody knows this aching like an old friend And everybody feels it the same But I'm out here in this desperate night in the middle of nowhere Driving faster, faster through the rain  Ch: And still the fires won't go out  Am I trying to raise a toast when the glass is already empty? Am I paying the price now the wasted years are through? I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me Than they'll ever cut into you
