Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway Page #4

There's only this

Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

Excuse me if I'm off track

But if you're so wise

Then tell me

Why do you need smack?

Take your needle

Take your fancy prayer

Don't forget

Get the moonlight out of your hair

Long ago you might have

Lit up my heart

But the fire's dead

Ain't never ever gonna start

Another time

Another place

The words would only rhyme

We'd be in outer space

It'd be another song

We'd sing another way

You wanna prove me wrong?

Come back another day

Another day

There's only yes

Only tonight

We must let go

To know what's right

No other course

No other way

No day but today

I can't control

Control your temper

My destiny

She doesn't see

I trust my soul

- Who says that there's a soul?

- My only goal

Is just to be

Just let me be

- Who do you think you are?

- There's only now, there's only here

- Barging in on me and my guitar

- Give in to love, or live in fear

- Little girl, hey

- No other path

- The door is that way

- No other way

No day but today

The fire's out anyway

No day but today

Take your powder

Take your candle

No day but today

Take your brown eyes

Your pretty smile, your silhouette

No day but today

Another time, another place

Another rhyme, a warm embrace

No day but today

Another dance

Another way, another chance

Another day

No day but today

I'm writing one great song

Before I...

Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare?

Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare?

- Will I lose my dignity?

- Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will someone care?

- Will I wake tomorrow

- Will I wake tomorrow

- From this nightmare?

- From this nightmare?

- Will I lose my dignity?

- Will I lose my dignity?

- Will someone care?

- Will I lose my dignity?

- Will I wake tomorrow

- Will someone care?

- From this nightmare?

- Will I wake tomorrow

- Will I lose my dignity?

- From this nightmare?

Will I lose my dignity?

- Will someone care?

- Will I lose my dignity?

- Will I wake tomorrow

- Will someone care?

- From this nightmare?

- Will I wake tomorrow?

Christmas bells are ringing

- Christmas bells are ringing

- Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Out of town

Santa Fe

Honest living, man.

Evening, officer.

Smile for Ted Koppel,

Officer Martin.

And a merry Christmas

To your family

Right.

Who the f*** do you think you are?

I don't need no goddamn help

From some

Bleeding heart cameraman

My life's not for you

To make a name for yourself on

Easy, sugar, easy

He was just trying to-

Just trying to use me

To kill his guilt

It's not that kind of movie, honey.

Let's go. This line is full

of motherfucking artists.

Hey. Artist. You got a dollar?

Yeah, I thought not.

New York City.

Center of the universe

Sing it, girl.

Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure

they can't get worse.

I hear you.

It's a comfort to know

When you're singing

The hit-the-road blues

That anywhere else you could

Possibly go after New York would be

A pleasure cruise

Now you're talking.

Well, I'm thwarted by a

Metaphysic puzzle

And I'm sick of grading papers

That I know

I'm shouting in my sleep

I need a muzzle

All this misery pays no salary

So

Let's open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

Sunny Santa Fe would be nice

We'll open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

And leave this

To the roaches and mice

- You teach?

- I teach.

Computer Age Philosophy.

But my students

would rather watch TV.

- America.

- America.

You're a sensitive aesthete

Brush the sauce onto the meat

You can make the menu

Sparkle with a rhyme

You can drum a gentle drum

And I can seat guests as they come

Chatting not about Heidegger

But wine

Let's open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

- Santa Fe

- Our labors would reap financial gain

- Gain

- Gain

We'll open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

- Santa Fe

- And save from devastation our brains

Save our brains

We'll pack up all our junk

And fly so far away

Devote ourselves to projects

That sell

We'll open up a restaurant

In Santa Fe

Forget this cold bohemian hell

Do you know the way

To Santa Fe?

You know, tumbleweeds

Prairie dogs

Yeah

I'll see you at the show

I'll try and convince Roger to go

- Alone at last

- He'll be back. I guarantee.

- I've been hearing violins all night.

- Anything to do with me?

Are we a thing?

Darling, we're everything.

Live in my house

I'll be your shelter

Just pay me back

With 1000 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 and I'll cover you

- I think they meant it

- I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

- A new lease you are, my love

- A new lease you are, my love

- On life

- On life

- Be my life

- Be my life

- Girl, where you taking me?

- Wherever you wanna go.

- All right.

- My wig, hold on.

Just slip me on

I'll be your blanket

Wherever, whatever

I'll be your coat

You'll be my king

And I'll be your castle

No, you'll be my queen

And I'll be your moat

I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

A new lease you are, my love

- On life

- On life

- All my life

- All my life

- I've longed to discover

- I've longed to discover

- Something as true as this is

- Something as true as this is

- So with a thousand sweet kisses

- If you're cold and you're lonely

I'll cover you

With a thousand sweet kisses

- You've got one nickel only

- I'll cover you

With a thousand sweet kisses

- When you're worn-out and tired

- I'll cover you

With a thousand sweet kisses

- When your heart has expired

- I'll cover you

- Oh, lover

- Oh, lover

- I'll cover you

- I'll cover you

- Yeah, yeah, yeah

- Yeah, yeah, yeah

- Oh, lover

- Oh, lover

- I'll cover you

- I'll cover you

Steve, Joanne. The Murget case?

A dismissal. Good work, counselor.

We're okay

Honey bear, wait

I'm on the other phone

Yes, I have the cowbell

We're okay

So tell them we'll sue

But a settlement will do

Sexual harassment

And civil rights too

Oh, Steve, you're great

No, you cut the paper plate

Did you cheat on Mark

A lot would you say?

We're okay

Honey, hold on.

Steve, I need- Hold on.

Hello?

Dad, yes, I beeped you

Maureen is coming

To Mother's hearing

We're okay

Honey bear, what?

Newt's lesbian sister? I'll tell them.

You heard? They heard.

We're okay

And you, Dad

Yep, Jill is there

Steve, got-

Jill with the short, black hair

The Calvin Klein model?

Steve, gotta go

The model who lives

In Penthouse A?

We're

We're okay

I'm on my way

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are singing

On TV at Saks

Honest living, honest living

Honest living, honest living
