[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
Ooh, 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
Oh, 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 dancer
