last month's rent

I'm trying to figure out
where all the good times went
I swear they were here
just a minute ago
they're now all memories
gone like last month's rent
all the hopes and dreams 
I used to know

every day's the same
time doesn't move here
where you work and work
and nothing ever changes
ask for something for yourself
and you begin to disappear
with only failure left
to entertain us

          I know I'm complaining
          but I have no clue
          it takes some explaining
          but life won't do
          what I want it to

I'm trying to figure out
where all the good times went
I swear they were here
just a minute ago
they're now all memories
gone like last month's rent
all the hopes and dreams 
I used to know
