A Little Bit Of Rent

What'd you forget? Got a light? I know you, you're-- shivering. It's nothing, they turned off my heat, and I'm just a little weak on my feet. Would you light my candle?

Mark? Hi! I told her not to call you! That's Maureen, but can I help since I'm here? I've hired an engineer. Great! Nice to have-- Wait! She's three hours late! The samples won't delay, but the cable-- There's another way, say something, anything. Test One Two Three! Anything, but that! This is weird. It's weird. Very weird. Fuckin' weird. I'm so mad that I don't know what to do! Fighting with microphones, freezing down to my bones, and to top it all off I'm with you! Feel like going insane, there's a fire in your brain, and you're thinking of drinking gasoline? As a matter of fact-- Honey I know this act. It's called, the Tango: Maureen!

Every single day, I walk down the street, I hear people say, baby so sweet. Ever since puberty, everyone stares at me, boys, girls, I can't help it! Baby. So be kind, and don't lose your mind. Just remember, that I'm your baby! Take me for what I am, who I was meant to be. And, if you, give a damn. Take me baby! Or leave me!

There's only us. There's only this.

Well I'm thwarted by a metaphysic puzzle, and I'm sick of grading papers, that I know. I'm shouting in my sleep, I need a muzzle. All this misery pays no salary so. Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe. Sunny Santa Fe would be nice. Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe and leave this to the roaches and mice.

What's the time? Well it's gotta be close to midnight! My body's talkin' to me, says time for danger! It says I wanna commit a crime, wanna be the cause of a fight! I wanna put on a tight skirt, and flirt, with a stranger. I've had a knack, from way back, I'm breaking the rules once I learn the games, get up! Life's too quick! I know someplace sick! Where this chick'll dance in the flames! We don't need any money! I always get in for free! You can get in too, if you get in with me! Let's go.. Out Tonight!

Who do you think you are? Barging in on me and my guitar? Little girl, hey! The door is that way! You better go, you know the fire's out anyway. Take your powder, take your candle, your sweet whisper I just can't handle! Well take your hair in the moonlight, your brown eyes, goodbye goodnight! Another time, another place. Our temperature would climb, there'd be a long embrace, we'd do another dance, it'd be another play, lookin' for romance, come back Another Day! Another Day!

Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes. Here she lies, noone knew her worth! The late, great, daughter of mother Earth. On this night, when we celebrate the birth. In that little town of Bethlehem, we raise our glass, you bet your ass! To, La Vie Boheme!

I should tell you, I'm disaster.

Five hundred tweny five thousand six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty five thousands six hundred minutes. How do you measure? Measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In, five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure? A year in the life? How about, love. How about, love. How about, love. Measure in love. Season of Love.

Will I lose my dignity? Will, someone, care? Will I wake tomorrow, from.. This, night--mare?
