My Favorite Rent Lyrics
The first lyrics are parts of songs and then there will be ones that are the entire song. The lyrics are from the book that comes with the cd.
We could light the candle Oh won't you light the candle Mimi Would you light my candle? Today for you - tomorrow for me Angel Today 4 U
Paul: Then why choose fear? Gordon: I'm a New Yorker! Fear's my life! Life Support
No other road No other way No day but today Life Support Let's go out tonight Have to go out tonight You're sweet Wanna hit the street? Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat? Just take me out tonight Please take me out tonight Don't forsake me - out tonight I'll let you make me - out tonight Tonight - tonight - tonight Mimi Out Tonight
Will I lose my dignity Will someone care Will I wake tomorrow From this nightmare? Will I?
Live in my house I'll be your shelter Just pay me back With one thousand kisses Be my lover And I'll cover you Open your door - I'll be your tenant Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet But sweet kisses I've got to spare I'll be there - I'll cover you I think they meant it When they said you can't buy love Now I know you can rent it A new lease you were, my love, on life All my life I've longed to discover Something as true As this is Collins I'll Cover You (Reprise) (Angel's memorial)
Rent Mark: How do you document real life When real life is getting more Like fiction each day Headlines - bread-lines Blow my mind And now this deadline "Eviction - or pay" Rent Roger: How do you write a song When the chords sound wrong Though they once sounded right and rare When the notes are sour Where is the power You once had to ignite the air Mark: And we're hungry and frozen Roger: Some life that we've chosen Together: How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's rent Mark: We light candles Roger: How do you start a fire When there's nothing to burn And it feels like something's stuck in your flue Mark: How can you generate heat When you can't feel your feet Both: And they're turning blue!

Maureen Last night I had a dream. I found myself in a desert called Cyberland. It was hot. My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty. Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink. She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk. In Cyberland, we only drink Diet Coke." She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" "They've closed everything real down ... like barns, troughs, performance spaces ... and replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life. But there is a way out ... Backups Leap of faith, leap of faith Leap of faith, leap of faith Maureen "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" I gotta get out of here! It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! - I've gotta find a way Maureen Backups "To jump over the moon Leap of faith etc. Only thing to do is jump over the moon" Maureen Then a little bulldog entered. His name (we have learned) was Benny. And although he once had principles, he abandoned them to live as a lap dog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution. "That's bull," he said. "Ever since the cat took up the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy. And the dish and the spoon were evicted from the table - and eloped ... she's had trouble with that milk and the moon ever since. Maybe it's a female thing. 'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway?... Walls ain't so bad. The dish and the spoon for instance. They were down on their luck - knocked on my doghouse door. I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!" "The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me. "A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she asked. Parched. "Have some milk." I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder and sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted." "Climb on board," she said. And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back and sprang into a gallop. Leaping out of orbit!!! Maureen Backups Maureen Backups I awoke singing Leap of faith, etc. Only thing to do Only thing to do is jump Only thing to do is jump over the moon Only thing to do is jump over the moon Over the moon - over the Moooooooo Moooooooo Moooooooo Moooooooo Moo with me. (She encourages the audience to moo with her. They do) Thank you.

How the hell... Pan left - close on the steeple of the church How did I get here? How the hell... Christmas Christmas eve - last year How could a night so frozen be so scalding hot? How can a morning this mild be so raw? Why are entire years strewn On the cutting room floor of memory When single frames from one magic night Forever flicker in close-up On the 3D Imax of my mind That's poetic That's pathetic Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door And Collins choose that phone booth Back where Angel set up his drums Why did Maureen's equipment break down Why am I the witness And when I capture it on film Will it mean that it's the end And I'm alone Goodbye Love Mimi It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car Roger It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe It's true you're with this yuppie scum?

I can't believe he's gone I can't believe you're going (to Roger) I can't believe this family must die Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree All I can't believe this is goodbye [Maureen and Joanne reconcile and go home. Collins returns to the funeral home. Mimi and Benny leave together. Roger and Mark are left alone] Mark I hear there are great restaurants out west Roger Some of the best. How could she? Mark How could you let her go? Roger You just don't know ... How could we lose Angel? Mark Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain At least now if you try - Angel's death won't be in vain Roger His death is in vain Mark Are you insane? There so much to care about There's me - there's Mimi Roger Mimi's got her baggage too Mark So do you Roger Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do Mark A friend Roger But who, Mark, are you? "Mark has got his work" They say "Mark lives for his work" And "Mark's in love with his work" Mark hides in his work Mark But from what? Roger From facing your failure, facing your loneliness Facing the fact you live a lie Yes, you live a lie - tell you why You're always preaching not to be numb When that's how you thrive You pretend to create and observe When you really detach from feeling alive Mark Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive Roger Poor baby Mark Mimi still loves Roger Is Roger really jealous Or afraid that Mimi's weak Roger Mimi did look pale Mark Mimi's gotten thin Mimi's running out of time Roger's running out the door Roger No more! Oh no! I've gotta go Mark Hey, for somebody who's always been let down Who's heading out of town? Roger For someone who longs for a community of his own, Who's with his camera, alone?

Have to find (Roger leaves, Benny enters) Mimi Please don't touch me Understand I'm scared I need to go away Mark I know a place - a clinic Benny A rehab? Mimi Maybe - could you? Benny I'll pay Mimi Goodbye love Goodbye love Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye Just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye love Hello disease [ Mimi runs away. Collins is booted from the funeral home when he can't pay the bill. Benny offers to pay; then he and Collins go drinking. Mark stays behind to prepare for his meeting with "Buzzline".] What You Own Mark "Hi, Mark Cohen for Buzzline...Back to you Alexi. Coming up, vampire welfare queens who are compulsive bowlers." Oh God, what am I doing? Don't breathe too deep Don't think all day Dive into work Drive the other way That drip of hurt That pint of shame Goes away Just play the game You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Leave your conscience at the tone And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own Roger The filmmaker cannot see Mark And the songwriter cannot hear Roger Yet I see Mimi everywhere Mark Angel's voice is in my ear Roger Just tighten those shoulders Mark Just clench your jaw till you frown Roger Just don't let go Both Or you may drown You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Where it's like the twilight zone And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own So I own not a notion I escape and ape content I don't own emotion - I rent Mark What was it about that night Roger What was it about that night Both Connection - in an isolating age Mark For once the shadows gave way to light Roger For once the shadows gave way to light Both For once I didn't disengage Mark Angel - I hear you - I hear it I see it - I see it My film! Roger Mimi I see you - I see it I hear it - I hear it My song! Mark (On the Phone) Roger Alexi - Mark One song - glory Call me a hypocrite Mimi I need to finish my own film Your eyes I quit! Both Dying in America ]At the end of the millennium We're dying in America To come into our own And when you're dying in America At the end of the millennium You're not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone Your Eyes Roger Your eyes As we said our goodbyes Can't get them out of my mind And I find I can't hide From your eyes The ones that took me by surprise The night you came into my life Where there's moonlight I see your eyes How'd I let you slip away When I'm longing so to hold you Now I'd die for one more day 'Cause there's something I should have told you Yes there's something I should have told you When I looked into your eyes Why does distance make us wise? You were the song all along And before this song dies I should tell you I should tell you I have always loved you You can see it in my eyes Mimi Finale B Mimi I jumped over the moon!! Roger What?
