Original Television Cast of Rent Live
Another Day
[ROGER]
Who do you think you are
Barging in on me and my guitar?
Little girl, hey, the door is that way
You better go, you know the fire is out anyway
Take your powder, take your candle
Your sweet whisper, I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes, goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you, I should tell you
I should tell you, I should, no
Another time, another place
Our temperature would climb, there'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance, it'd be another play
Looking for romance, come back another day
Another day
[MIMI]
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future, there is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today
[ROGER]
Excuse me if I'm off track, but if you're so wise
Then tell me why do you need smack
Take your needle, take your fancy prayer
Don’t forget get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might’ve lit up my heart
But the fires dead and ain't never ever gonna start
Another time, another place
The words would only rhyme, we'd be in outer space
It'd be another song, we'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong, come back another day
Another day
[MIMI]
There's only yes, only tonight
We must let go to know what's right
No other course, no other way
No day but today
[MIMI & COMPANY, ROGER]
I can't control
Control your temper
My destiny
She doesn’t see
I trust my soul
Who says that there's a soul?
My only goal is just to be
Just let me be
There's only now
Who do you think you are
There's only here
Barging in on me
Give into love
Or live in fear
And my guitar
No other past
Little girl, hey
No other way
The door is that way
No day but today
The fire's out anyway
No day but today
Take your powder, take your candle
No day but today
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
No day but today
Another time, another place, another rhyme, a warm embrace
No day but today
Another dance, another way, another chance, another day
No day but today
