THE PRICE I PAY

Well I've been staring at this light bulb for over a week
My eyes are burning and my legs are weak
But that's the price I pay for being a loner
Well I could make a call tomorrow
Say that I'm coming home
I'm sorry baby I don't know who to phone
But that's the price I pay for being a loser

Each night I'm dreaming my sheets soaking wet
Faces from the past that I'd rather forget
I dream of Elvis I dream of King Kong
It gets more exaggerated the further I get along
But that's the price I pay for my imagination

I been starting at strange women who I'll never meet
Undress them in my mind from their head to their feet
But that's the price I pay for my obsession
Well you can make it if you want it
You can get it if you try
You can climb up any mountain if you're not afraid to die
Or that's the price you'll pay for your anxiety
That's the price you'll pay for your notoriety
That's the price I pay for my humanity
