lyrics

(a coin jar spills on the counter)
(whoo!)

My wallet's just a photograph
Of money I once knew
But the strings are swelling on my behalf
And baby, so are you
(so are you!)

The landlord called it Tuesday
We're calling it a show
(here we go, here we go)
Broke is just a rhythm
Once you let the bassline know

Rent day disco! (owe it all!)
Rent day disco! (dance anyway!)
Can't afford the floor but we own the wall
Rent day disco! (spin it now!)
Rent day disco!
Richest broke folks at the ball
(whoo! pay it in moves!)

We split one plate of dollar noodles
Candlelit — the power's out
You waltzed me past the pile of bills
And kissed away my doubt
(the fuse box hums back on)

Rent day disco! (owe it all!)
Rent day disco! (dance anyway!)
Can't afford the floor but we own the wall
Rent day disco! (spin it now!)
Rent day disco!

First of the month, we shimmy
Fifth of the month, we glide
(snap, snap)
They can bill me for the ceiling
But they can't invoice my stride
(never! never!)

Rent day disco! (owe it ALL!)
Rent day disco! (dance anyway!)
Can't afford the floor but we own the wall
Rent day disco!
Rent day disco!

(keep the change, keep the groove)
(whoo!)
