Song title: Suzanne Vega - The Rent Song

Edit By: 216.73.217.165

I am sitting by my window;
I am thinking of my rent.
I am looking through my pockets,
And Im wondering where it went.
I am feeling like the devil,
Maybe like the devils wife.
I am singing for my supper.
I am singing for my life.

Things go up and things go down,
And we have all these highs and lows,
But are we even in the end,
I dont think anybody knows,
But when I look from my window
I pretend that Im in france.
You know I never have been there
But I might jump at the chance.

Tell me what do you do
With a troubled mind?
Do you sing? do you cry?
Do you wait for a better time?
Do you think about tomorrow
When youre living in today?
And can you stop this tide against you,
Make it go the other way?

And when I look from my window
I can hear the little bird sing;
And I like to hear those little birds
Because then I know its spring.
And spring comes after winter,
Surely all of this we know.
And spring is really coming,
Its just so God damn slow.

I am sitting by my window;
I am thinking of my rent.
I am looking through my pockets
And I am wondering where it went.
I am feeling like the devil,
Maybe like the devils wife.
I am singing for my supper.
I am singing for my life.
