Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway Page #2

When they act tough

You call their bluff

We're not gonna pay

We're not gonna pay

We're not gonna pay

Last year's rent

This year's rent

Next year's rent

Rent, rent, rent, rent, rent

We're not gonna pay rent

'Cause everything is rent

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Somewhere else, not here

You okay, honey?

I'm afraid so

They get any money?

No, had none to get

But they purloined my coat

Well, you missed a sleeve

- Thanks

- Hell, it's Christmas Eve

I'm Angel

Angel

Indeed.

An angel of the first degree

Friends call me Collins.

Tom Collins.

Nice tree

Let's get a Band-Aid for your knee

I'll change it

There's a Life Support meeting

At 9:
30

Yes, this body

Provides a comfortable home

For the Acquired Immune

Deficiency Syndrome

- As does mine

- Oh, well, you look fine

Get you a coat

Have a bite and make a night

- I'm flush

- My friends are waiting

You're cute when you blush

The more, the merry

Ho, ho, ho

And I do not take no

- Where are you going?

- Maureen calls.

You're such a sucker.

I don't suppose you'd like to see

her show in the lot tonight...

...or come to dinner?

Zoom in on my empty wallet.

Touch.

Take your AZT.

Close on Roger

His girlfriend April left a note

Saying, "We've got AIDS"

Before slitting her wrists

In the bathroom

I'll check up on you later.

If you change your mind...

You have to get out of the house.

I'm writing one great song

Before I...

God.

One song

Glory

One song before I go

Glory

One song to leave behind

Find one song

One last refrain

Glory

From the pretty-boy front man

Who wasted opportunity

One song

He had the world at his feet

Glory

In the eyes of a young girl

A young girl

Find glory

Beyond the cheap colored lights

One song

Before the sun sets

Glory

On another empty life

Time flies

Time dies

Glory

One blaze of glory

One blaze of glory

Glory

Find glory

In a song that rings true

Truth like a blazing fire

An eternal flame

Find one song

A song about love

Glory

From the soul of a young man

A young man

Find the one song

Before the virus takes hold

Glory

Like a sunset

One song

To redeem this empty life

Time flies

And then no need

To endure anymore

Time dies

The door.

- What'd you forget?

- Got a light?

I know you, you're-

You're shivering

It's nothing

They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little weak on my feet

Would you light my candle?

- What are you staring at?

- Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

- Can you make it?

- Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room

- What?

- Nothing

- Your smile reminded me of-
