[Verse 1] I hear the clicking of the dominoes You shaking up a game And if we lose a hand I bet I'll know just who's to blame But if we hear "twenty-one" If we make that call I bet I'll sit here in my chair Just feeling ten feet tall [Verse 2] And we're caught up in the riff-raff Circling 'round the sun It takes a whole lot of blood and tears Just to really love someone But when it comes back around That's heaven on Earth You never know 'til the end, my friend What your love is really worth [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? Well, in my heart, you pay no rent Well, in my heart, you pay no rent [Verse 3] I hear the crackle of a campfire You're howlin' at the moon We all know that you gotta go But does it have to be so soon? Bet somebody's yelling "last call" I hope you get some rest Hope you found everything that you wanted In the place you love the best [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? Well, I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? Well, in my heart, you pay no rent Well, in my heart, you pay no rent [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Now we're shaking up the dominoes Beneath the neon light Knowing anybody else out there Couldn't put up a better fight But the fighting time's over It's all gone You pick up the pieces And we try to carry on [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? Well, I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? Well, in my heart, you pay no rent Don't cost you nothing, not a single cent Time together was time well spent In my heart, you pay no rent In my heart, you pay no rent
