Barenaked Ladies

Brian Wilson

Dĺžka piesne: 04:47
Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
But when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-op
(This progression continues throughout the slow intro)
It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning, a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog

Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue, 'cause right now I'm
CHORUS:
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm, lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
(Progression for the verse is the same as intro. Just listen to the song

(Pick up the rythym at this point)
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
Somebody help meeeeee, because I'm
CHORUS
(With lots of angst, repeat intro)
Drove downtown in the ray-ee-ain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop (late night record shop)
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, or call it insane (whoa-oh)
'Cause when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-ah-ah-p
