I'll sign the papers for a life on leaves 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 and old and in love It's all too easy, you're easily bored Never once has it crossed your mind that life's too short And there's a third person walking behind us So tell him to go back and he's there to remind us Life is a blink of an eye, you are no more So I stand back and I watch us fall As we break everything inside as bones are lost Lives for rent and he called us out So I hand back the key as the doorman bows They greet you welcome with roses and champagne When you walk through the lobby, they all know your name Good old 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 as bones are lost Lives for rent and he called us out So I hand back the key as the doorman bows We're just greens in the universe I let that comfort me when I'm anxious This life is beautiful, you're clear at times We're just greens in the universe I let that comfort me when I'm anxious This life is beautiful, you're clear at times So I stand back and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls You know the lights fall and turn the colours out So I hand back the key as the doorman bows
