āŗ Lyrics I signed the papers For a lifelong lease I rent the earth where I stand And the air I breathe Then you forget that deal you made with God While busy finding yourself being young, being dumb and in love Itās all too easy And youāre easily bored Never once has it crossed your mind that lifeās too short
And thereās a third person walking behind us A tap on the back and itās there to remind us Life is a blink of an eye ātil you are no more.
So, I stand back, and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Lifeās for rent and it called us out So, I hand back the key as the door man bows
They greet you welcome With roses and champagne And when you walk through the lobby They all know your name But all beautiful things Come with edges and thorns And the body you borrowed is starting to look kind of worn
So, I stand back, and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Lifeās for rent and it called us out So, I hand back the key as the door man bows
Weāre just grains in the universe I let that comfort me when Iām anxious This life is beautifully ugly at times
Weāre just grains in the universe I let that comfort me when Iām anxious This life is beautifully ugly at times
Itās beautifully ugly at times Itās beautifully ugly at times Itās beautifully ugly at times Itās beautifully ugly at times
So, I stand back, and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Lifeās for rent and it called us out So, I hand back the key as the door man bows
So, I stand back, and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Lifeās for rent and it called us out So, I hand back the key as the door man bows
