RENT - Tune Up 1 Lyrics

Mark--
December 24th, Nine PM
Eastern Standard Time
From here on in
I shoot without a script
See if anything comes of it
Instead of my old shit
First shot - Roger
Tuning the Fender guitar
He hasn't played in a year

Roger--
This won't tune

Mark--
So we hear
He's just coming back
From half a year of withdrawal

Roger--
Are you talking to me?

Mark--
Not at all
Are you ready? Hold that focus - steady
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger ...

Roger--
I'm writing one great song --

Mark--
The phone rings.

Roger--
Saved!

Mark--
We screen
Zoom in on the answering machine!
