Listen to those dogs howl
They need an answer now
They're not asking
They're not telling
They're just wondering how
It all disappeared so soon

Rent's due again
Rent's due again

She stood costumed in the ballroom
Filled with desperate men
A group of shadows
Crossed her like
A fair weathered friend
She guessed the story's end

Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again

If I knew how this would turn

I never would have played
I guess I just listened to those words
Don't be afraid
Now I need some aid

Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again
Rent's due again
