lirik lagu suzanne vega – the rent song
i am sitting by my window;
i am thinking of my rent.
i am looking through my pockets,
and i’m wondering where it went.
i am feeling like the devil,
maybe like the devil’s 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 don’t think anybody knows,
but when i look from my window
i pretend that i’m 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 you’re 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 it’s spring.
and spring comes after winter,
surely all of this we know.
and spring is really coming,
it’s just so god d-mn 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 devil’s wife.
i am singing for my supper.
i am singing for my life.
