If I pick it up, can I put it down,
|
Whatever it is I just can't stop
|
For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine.
|
I got, too much, pressure,
|
Got me under it's thumb
|
And it's no fun, you can lose
|
Now I got a choice but I can't choose
|
Insistent as you are
|
Is no guarantee that you'll go far
|
Rock steady, if you can
|
But I've never been a steady man,
|
People, wanna shoot you down,
|
If you can't swim then you will drown
|
In sorrow,
|
Can't get no medical attention till tomorrow,
|
Sadlands are where I live,
|
But that's none of your business,
|
You keep asking, and soon enough
|
The kids gonna have to get rough,
|
Maybe I'm a speed king
|
Push with the foot and I'm smiling,
|
I can glide on the love inside,
|
And there was you thinking that my hands were tied
|
All along I saw you hoping
|
I would slip and I'm not joking
|
The evidence in these events
|
Is still your lack of commonsense
|
Did you really think that I would sink
|
Because I like another drink
|
Have to get up to get down
|
The remedy is in the sound
|
Absurdity of your suggestion,
|
Leaves me asking just one question,
|
If you are my friend today?
|
Why do you wanna hear me say?
|
|
If I pick it up, can I put it down
|
Whatever it is, I just can't stop
|
[Repeat]
