When you crave the fruit
At the top of the tree
Get excited at the hum of 
an invisible unnatural bee
When you ascertain
What most people cannot see
There is a price

When you hear things
Nobody else around you hears
When a mysterious “shadow”
Appears
To soothe and demolish your fears
There is a price

When you just know
When nobody’s told you so
When you’re aware that nothing is,
Nothing is what it seems
You’re living in a nightmare
And the aliens are "here" and not in your dreams
There is a price

When you pine to be
On a spaceship in some god forsaken galaxy
When your heart, your very soul is in a near distant place
And you ache to see your reptilian face
When your first love
Is in the body of a star, somewhere above
There is a price

When you cavort with creatures
who are not even remotely human
Love many, many a daemon
Father lots of children in another dimension
There is a price

When your true mother
Is a brilliant intergalactic warrior
To some, a cold-blooded monster
When you are thisfamiliar
With the one, the enigmatic Lucifer
When you find yourself yearning
To hunt, to kill, to feed
To mow “them” down like so much 
unwanted “weed”
To watch the blood
Flow thick and pure 
Like virgin mud
There is a price

When your best girl
Can never share your “dark”secret  world
When you relish being alone in your bed
And that beautiful Montserratian mermaid
Still swims circles in your head
A tunnel vision and a dream in the rain
The loneliest pain
There is a price

When you're aware that
Jesus Christ
Was simply just a traveller
From some distant world
One of many
And the miraculous was simply
Advanced technology
There is a price

When you find out
What it’s all really about
When “they” acquire the cold scaly skill
To start pulling travelers
From the sky at will
Mugging the innocent solar passerby
Dotting the asian landscape 
As the wheels come off ET's 
FLY BY
There is a price

I’m not a fool
Everything’s cool
Everything’s nice
Everything’s got a motherfucking price

It's almost Payday
Many will cry
Many will die
A few will vanish
Into the shaded abyss

I'm keeping my change handy…
We are cold and ready

There's always a price
