Spoon – Rent I Pay Lyrics

I’ve been losing sleep
Just nodding sleep¹
That I wish that I lowed²

Hm and I lost all my tapes
Of back masking piece
Just for asking peace
That I ought to be owed³

And that’s the rent I’m paying⁴
Just like my brother would say it

Out amongst the stars and the stones
Every kinda fortune gets old⁵
Every kinda line is gonna come back to me
Just as I go⁶

But that’s the rent I pay
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 lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala
Ooh lala

I’ve been losing sleep
And I’m nodding sleep
That I wish that I lowed

Hm and I lost all my tapes
Of back masking piece
Just for asking peace
That I ought to be owed

And that’s the rent I pay
Like my brother say it
That’s the rent I pay

Ah, rent I pay
Like my brother say
That’s the rent I pay

Everybody knows just where you’ve been going
Everybody knows the faces you’ve been showing⁷
And if that’s your answer no I ain’t your dancer⁸
And if that’s your answer no I ain’t your dancer
