Rent — Lights Lyrics

I know it ain't nice
But I feel it again
I hear that song
On the speakers again

But it's all up there
And my imagination is as tall as your words

I keep a checklist of offenses, ooh
I stay awake to put up fences
If you wanna live in my head, you gotta pay the expenses
And honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is
Honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is

I fantasize when I close my eyes
Explosions in the sky
Loudly in my mind
But I think I know it's all a waste of time

I keep a checklist of offenses, ooh
I stay awake to put up fences
If you wanna live in my head, you gotta pay the expenses
And honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is
Honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is

Sometimes I'm a floating head, no body
Just drifting over my bed, nobody
Sometimes I'm a floating head, no body
Just drifting over my bed, nobody

But it's all there
And my imagination is as tall as your words

I keep a checklist of offenses, ooh
I stay awake to put up fences
If you wanna live in my head, you gotta pay the expenses
And honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is
Honey, you can't afford what the rent is
You can't afford what the rent is
