Far From The Prize

Lyrics

The pecuniary pleasures that we drink in desperate measures

I'm shaking now with uncertain hands

Your provocative comment will fall down upon them

As I'm laughing at their final demands

What do you want me to say to you

That I love you, well maybe I do

But you couldn't tear the dark from the skies

Still so far, far from the prize

What do you want me to say to you

That I love you, well maybe I do

But you couldn't tear the dark from the skies

Still so far, far from the prize
