Last Summer in a Rented Room

Emptiness, oh, emptiness

What could fill the void in your soul?

In the bottomless pit with you

We don't know how deep it can go

Wander up 5th Ave

Where the bus goes right to the sea

Oh, the prices we pay to never feel at home

The rent's always hanging over me, over me

We had the bitter taste

Of a dream that ends too soon

Still we endure the indignity

Of another summer in a rented room

Watery eyes as we stumble out of bed

Onto the filthy streets we know

No sun again today, oh, that's fine we all say

We don't care for the golden glow

We let it go last summer in a rented room

Wander up 5th Ave

Where the bus goes right to the sea

Oh, the prices we pay to never feel at home

The rent's always hanging over me
