lyrics

The Price

You enter shot in hand you're on the stage again
Tequila by the dozen doesn't do you in

Gladiator I've come to watch you fight
It entertains me when you can barely get it right
Tortured artists are the most impressive kind
And I'll keep buying tickets till you finally pay the price

If you slit your wrists
It'd make you infamous
You'd finally get respect and live in history
Perhaps an overdose
Would boost your cred the most
Then every word you said would turn to poetry

Gladiator I've come to watch you die
It entertains me when you can't open both your eyes
Dying artists are the only vital kind
And I'll be lighting candles when you finally pay the price

Gladiator I won't forget your plight
I emulate you but I can barely get it right
Art and torture are a most expensive vice
So I keep selling tickets till I finally pay the
Reinvent the sickness till I finally pay the price
Finally pay the price
