The Rentals Album

It's a bright day
It's the right view
Central Park right in front of you
There's a misstep
There's a missed phrase
She's the wrong gal
It's the wrong day

(The last romantic day)
It's the wrong day
(It's the last romantic day)

It's the first date in the daytime
Boy you show your age in the bright lights
She's got bad form and a short fuse
In the sunshine she's a cold muse

(The last romantic day)
Whatcha gonna do
(It's the last romantic day)

Welcome to the brand new day past the golden age
The Technicolor fantasy slowly fades to grey
Welcome to the brand new you on the last romantic day

So I bow in and I bow out
Take a white flag
Wave it all about
It's too much now
Too too too soon
Too too much
Too too much for you

(The last romantic day)
Too too much for you
(It's the last romantic day)
And it's going away
(The last romantic day)
And it's going away
(It's the last romantic day)
It's almost over

It's almost over
And it's going away
Yeah, well it's going away
It's almost over

Here's a little bit of the day we met; a whole long list of my regrets
There's a two step dance that never swings; a little bit of you in everything

The shimmering of the Christmas lights; a lonely tone in the deepest night
As Nat King Cole softly sings; a little bit of you in everything

But, I don't want to carry these old feelings anymore

There's a little bit in the books I read; a little bit in the films I see
A little bit in those common themes; there's a little bit of you I keep with me

The sound of a train in the empty night; a voice of a girl in the lazy lights
As Nat King Cole softly sings; a little bit of you in everything

But, I don't want to carry these old feelings anymore
No, no, no I don't want to be haunted by the choices I made before

Tell me one thing that's worth saving from this nameless generation
Give me one thing, give me one thing, give me one thing; one thing forever more

Well, there's a little bit of the day we met and a whole long list of my regrets
As look out onto the airplane wing; a little bit of you in everything

A little bit of you in everything; a little bit of you in everything
Tell me one thing that's worth saving from this nameless generation
Give me one thing that you'll cherish; you'll hold onto and keep sacred
Give me one thing; one thing forever more

Everybody writes
Everybody reads
Everybody learns faster than me

I'd like to learn
I'd like to read
I'd even like to love eventually

But I've got a date with procrastination
I've got a date
I don't want to be late

I've got a problem with my education
I got a problem, it drives me insane
I've got a problem with this situation
I've got a life without a brain, without a brain

I'd like to write the next great novel
I'd like to write a brilliant play
I'd like to travel to distant nations
Comprehend every word you say

But I've got a date with procrastination
I've got a date
I don't want to be late

I've got a problem with my education
I got a problem, it drives me insane
I've got a problem with this situation
I've got a life without a brain, without a brain

Well I'd like to learn about musical theory
And I'd like to learn about philosophy
I'd like to learn a foreign language
Hey, maybe I'll do that eventually

But I've got a problem with my education
I got a problem, it drives me insane
I've got a problem with this situation
I've got a life without a brain, without a brain

I need to figure this out
And find where my place is
I don't mean to threaten anyone
no need to get so defensive

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

I guess it's real simple
It's just like when Gary Numan said,
"You're just a viewer, cold and distant
You are just business, you're worthless"

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

Sweetness (ohhh sweetness)
I need some tenderness (ten der ness)
Sweetness (ohh sweetness)
I need some tenderness (ten der ness)

You know it's just like Judas say
I been your right hand man all along
My admiration for you hasn't died
I haven't forgotten how put down we are

You say you're with me
I know you don't care
You say you're with me
I know you don't care

Sweetness (ohhh sweetness)
I need some tenderness (ten der ness)
Sweetness (ohh sweetness)
I need some tenderness (ten der ness)

Come away with me
Come away with me
Sweetness
Come away with me
We can hide in peace
And we can finally rest

This melody's long, and I do care
This melody's fun?, yes I care
