Verse 1 You think the world runs on mercy Sweet little lies we rehearse But every halo you’re wearing Came with a line in the purse Every favor’s a wager Every promise a loan You call it love in the daylight Baby I call it a tone Pre-Chorus Every smile hides a number Every kiss signs a deal You can pretend it’s forever But forever ain’t real Chorus Everything has a price Every saint every sin Every door that you open Has a lock from within Everything has a price Every heart every crown Baby love’s just a wager Till the bill comes around Everything has a price Verse 2 You want devotion and roses You want a taste of the crown You want the world on a velvet tray Baby sit yourself down Everybody’s a buyer Everybody’s for sale The trick ain’t getting the treasure The trick is reading the tale Pre-Chorus Every whisper has leverage Every touch has a cost Everybody’s a winner Till they learn what they lost Chorus Everything has a price Every dream every vice You can dance with the devil If the shoes fit you nice Everything has a price Every truth every lie Baby love’s just a contract Signed with smoke in the sky Everything has a price Bridge (burlesque drop) Maybe once I believed it Fairytales and champagne Maybe once I was foolish Maybe once I felt pain Now I deal in the daylight No illusions no dice You can want what you want baby Just remember the price Final Chorus Everything has a price Every king every thief Every promise of heaven Has a clause underneath Everything has a price Every fire every spark You can play in the sunlight But the deal’s made in the dark Everything has a price.
