I can hear them fighting upstairs
in apartment number nine
I can hear their voices
bounce off the bricks
The vines of the building next door
Well I know that they can't see me
Naked, playing my guitar
and watching them
TV
I don't know if her name is
Renee, but I know it's just from
France
Saw her walking in the park today,
in a dress that showed her underpants
She was smiling at him,
I guess his name's
Pierre
Holding hands and laughing,
and I looked as if he cared
But I can hear
Renee, fighting
for her life today
Oh
Renee, just walk
away
He said, she said and then not a word
All night as the rain fell down,
I held my breath
And then I heard a big voice,
a small sigh
And the punches flew
I can hear
Renee
Fighting for her life today
Oh,
Renee
I can hear her crying, all to fear
And I guess she's trying, but I fear
But she'll never get out
of here
We are here, aren't we dear?
And I'm glad that I have you
As the guitar plays in the long main subway
I wish I knew how to get through
To free the girl upstairs
She don't even know I care
I can hear
Renee
Fighting for her life today
Oh,
Renee
I can hear
Renee
Fighting for her life today
Oh, I would let go
of a name
Just walk away
A name
I could be
I could be
You
