Rent (Live in Rio 1994) [2021 Remaster]

We've never actually been asked to perform into the long crowd
But if we did, it might sound a bit like this

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are

We never ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
(I love you, you pay my rent)

I'm your puppet
I love it
I need it
I feel it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
Oh, I love you, you pay my rent
It's easy, it's so easy
I love you, you pay my rent
It's easy, it's so easy
I love you, you pay my rent
Thank you
