The Rent

Twenty-seven dollar dress shoes and a ride back home
Still hard to comprehend leaving on my own
Papers all said Old Joe's back from the grave
I don't suppose they know I wasn't dead all of those days most all those Days

And if I acquire some fine complacence
Send a message down the line
Please define the things you meant
I'd say where you're concerned I'm patience
Just looking through the old façade
Space between the thoughts is God
Don't forget to pay the rent

I heard welcome back Joe but their eyes weren't saying it
I don't suppose they're thinking it the way they're praying yet
The question is how that scar is healing
The answer my beloved is to which scar might you be referring

And if I ain't quite the one you knew then
Please forgive the cold reflection
We're all mirrors in the end
And if I decide to heed direction
Just spoiled children spared the rod
Space between the thoughts is God
Don't forget to pay the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent

If I decide to heed direction
Just spoiled children spared the rod
Space between the thoughts is God
Don't forget to pay the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
The rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent the rent
Pay the rent
Pay the rent the rent
The rent
Twenty-seven dollar dress shoes and a ride back home
