Rent I Pay

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been losing sleep, just noddin'
Sleep that I wish that I'd known
And I lost all my tapes of back masking
Peace just for asking, peace that I ought to be owed

[Chorus]
And that's the rent I pay
Just like my brother would say it

[Verse]
Out amongst the stars and the stones
Every kinda fortune gets old
Every kinda line is gonna come back to me just as I go

[Chorus]
And that's the rent I pay (Yeah)
Like my brother say it
That's the rent I pay
Rent I pay
Like my brother say it
That's the rent I pay
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been losing sleep, and I'm nodding
Sleep that I wish that I'd known
And I lost all my tapes of back masking
Peace just for asking, peace that I ought to be owed

[Chorus]
And that's the rent I pay
Like my brother say it
That's the rent I pay
Rent I pay
Like my brother say
That's the rent I pay

[Outro]
Everybody knows just where you been going
Everybody knows the faces you been showin'
And if that's your answer, no, I ain't your dancer
And if that's your answer, no, I ain't your dance
