High Cost of Low

The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir High Cost of Low Lyrics
1.Surface Of The Sun

You may sit and cry
On this lonely night
Waiting around
Playing with fire
But it's alright
The best part
You ain't got to yet
You may not decide
If it's wrong or right
With your less than perfect
Life tonight
But it's alright
You'll figure it out yourself
Curiosity got the best of me this time
But it won't shake my destiny
Completely got away from me
I don't know my limit
Or my strength you see
I telephone I'm gonna be there soon
I'm gonna catch a cab
I'm gonna leave my room
But it's alright
The best part I ain't got to yet

Sitting in the sun
With my head in the sand
I don't give a damn about the words they're saying
I'm just trying to learn how not to get burned
But the surface of the sun is always raging
Curiosity got the best of me this time
But it won't shake my destiny
Just trying to learn how not to get burned
But the surface of the sun
Is always raging


2.Number On The Wall


3.Radio Plays

A long distance carrier pigeon
Flying from Hollywood or Hell
And nobody was really sure
Nobody could really tell at all
If it was my imagination
Or just my situation

And the radio, the radio made me
And the radio, the radio plays
Station to station, into the night
Into tomorrow and the rest of our lives
Into the future, into the light
Into forever, until everything's quiet
The radio plays
The radio plays

Now I hadn't changed, I was just different
Man I was just thinking to myself
That nobody was really sure
Nobody could really tell at all
If it was my imagination
Or just my situation

The radio plays
The radio plays

A long distance carrier pigeon
Flying in from Hollywood or hell
And nobody was really sure
Nobody could really tell at all
If it was my imagination
Or just my situation


4.Microscope

I take it apart in the dark
Shaving seconds from the previous minute
I will turn and face almost anything, any place
For a new beginning

And all the toy guns are loaded
And every game show host
Knows the answers I don't

When you find yourself under a microscope
Under the influence
Or under oath
You know, I know

I take it apart in the dark
Bend my hand, shaped into a pistol
Well it's all give and take
Every memories fade
The future's sailing off in the distance

And all the toy guns are loaded
And every school boy knows
The hat in places I don't

When you find yourself under a microscope
Under the influence
Or under oath
You know, I know

And you find yourself
Unable to cope
Under the microscope
Under the influence
I know

Born under a porn star
Just to be here and in it
I would turn and face almost anything, any place
For a new beginning
And all the toy guns are loaded
And every game show host
Knows the answers I don't

When you find yourself under a microscope
Under the influence
Or under oath
You know, I know

And you find yourself
Unable to cope
Under the microscope
Under the influence
I know

And you find yourself
And you find yourself


5.What It Takes

Don't think straight
I would have never seen this side of you
Not in a hundred million years
Not for a hundred million years

I stay up late
Sticking pins into a doll of you
Nothing ever seems so clear
Not for a hundred million years

And the song your singing
Is just the song you sing

I'm not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that's okay, it's what it takes

Everyday you walk into my heart again
And everything you killed
You did it for the thrills

I disappear back into my mind again
And everything you've heard
Don't believe a word

And the war your waging
Has open-staged

I'm not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that's okay, it's what it takes

And I say goodbye to you
You say goodbye to me
And that's just all it means

And I say goodnight to you
You say goodnight to me
The rest is just a dream

I stay up late
Sticking pins into myself again
And nothing ever works
In fact it just got worse

I'm not waiting for the sun to shine today
Not looking for the great escape
No waiting for the world to turn my way
And that's okay, it's what it takes

I say goodbye to you
You say goodbye to me

The rest is just a dream
The rest is just a dream


6.Well On Your Way

Well I have kissed the stars and the police cars
And that little voice I choose to accept
And now I have turned around
And I have walked away
And quicken my step
Well you know that you're well on your way
At this point it's safe to say
You're well on your way

Hey hey
Now I have kissed the ground
And I've been forced to run
And I've been limited
Thinking away
And I have turned around
And I have learned to face
Every day

Well you know that you're well on your way
At this point it's safe to say hey hey
You're well on your way

Well I have kissed the stars and the police cars
And that little voice don't go away
And I have turned around
And I've been forced to face every day

Well you know that decisions were made
At this point it's safe to say hey hey
You're well on your way
Well you know that you're well on your way
At this point it's safe to say hey hey
You're well on your way


7.My Mistakes

If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away
Now if I admit defeat
Tell me what then will that mean
Will I cease to be or will I be redeemed
Or will it be the end of me

And you ought to know by now
To get out from under that cloud
That took all my power
And it's the only thing that counts
Well I smile as I stand here today
With all the mistakes I've made
Now in my darkest night
They're the brightest stars in the sky

If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away
Fade away

And you ought to know by now
To get out from under that cloud
That took all my power
And it's the only thing that counts
Well I smile as I stand here today
With all the mistakes I've made
Now in my darkest night
They're the brightest stars in the sky

If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away


8.Gods Have Spoken

It's like the gods have spoken
Just when the pressure meets the tall man
Watching the sea in a storm and watch it collide
Watching the motion, to focus everything on a voltage
And taking the time to turn the tide
Singing somewhere down the stream 'I'm wasting time'

It's just when fog has frozen
A world await in a no-end*

And when they're really listening
Listening so much closer
What is it we're missing
The skyline here is the ocean
The skyline here is the ocean
I'm waiting til' I get there
No way to explain, a way today

And when the fight is over
Just when the pressure eats a boat off
Watching the sea in a storm and, and' hitching a ride
Watching the ocean
A world await in a no-end*

Taking the time, to turn the tide
Singing somewhere down the stream 'I'm wasting time'

It's just when the world moves closer
A world await in a no-end*

And when they're really listening
Listening so much closer
What is it we're missing

The skyline here is the ocean
The skyline here is the ocean
I'm waiting til' I get there
No way to explain, a way today

No way to explain
No way to explain a way today
No way to explain a way today
no way to explain a way today


9.Sentimental Me

Yesterday came and went
Like any other day
And I closed my eyes
And I looked away
Yesterday came and went
Like any other day
And something's changed
And I can't explain it

And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone's got some of that
And it's all right here to see
And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone's got some of that

If I could chase the second hand
Around the face of every moment I have wasted
I wouldn't change a single thing
I have no regrets
And I'm not that patient

And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone wants some of that
But it's all right here for me
And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone's got some of that
Don't you want some of that
Everyone's got some of that
Don't you want some of that

And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone's got some of that
And it's all right there to see
And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me
Everyone needs some of that
And it's all right here for me
And when the sun has faded
Maybe it's the sentimental me


10.Ten Feet Tall

The way she walks
It's like she's ten feet tall
She's got a sound
Coming through the wall
She's got a vibe
She'll kick it down the hall
She's got the whole damn thing
Finger on the pulse
She's got a mind
Throw it in the air
I've got a signal
You know I'm already there

Don't need to bleed that star
Just to figure it out
Don't always need to know
What it's all about
Maybe break your back
Maybe knock you out
You know there ain't no one here baby
But yourself

She got it all
You know it's blowing my mind
She's got a beat
She's never behind
And I believed her
I see it in her eyes
She had to make me laugh
Before she made me cry
She got a mind
Throw it in the air
I got a signal
You know I'm already there


11.Puzzle I Am

Never settle down my baby
Never settle up
Just lock the doors
Drive like crazy
'Til the wheels fall off
And you change my mind now honey
Reconfigured my soul
Disrupted my corruption
I closed my eyes and let go
And you look so beautiful
When you don't give a damn
You had the missing piece to
The puzzle I am

And there were no easy answers
Nothing was what it seemed
That applies to everyone else
Except you and me
When I caught up to you honey
That time in the past
We re-wrote the future and we
We started from scratch
And you look so beautiful
When you, you don't give a damn
And you had the missing piece to the puzzle I am

We were so reckless honey
When opportunity knocked
We took the wheel and drove like crazy
And we still haven't stopped
We shined the light in the shadows
Took the night from the day
Smile a little more than I used to
And I like it that way
And you are so beautiful
When you, you don't give a damn
You had the missing piece to the puzzle I am
The puzzle I am
