Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 stop
[Verse 2]
It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning
And a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate
How'd you like that?
Dr. Landy, tell me you're not just a pedagogue
[Verse 3]
'Cause right now I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well, I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, oh
[Verse 4]
So, I'm lying here
Just staring at the ceilin' tiles
And I'm thinking 'bout, oh, what to think about
Just listenin' and re-listenin'
To Smiley Smile
And I'm wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought because
[Verse 5]
I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well, I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, oh
[Verse 6]
And if you wanna find me, I'll be out in the sandbox
Just wonderin' where the hell all the love is gone
Playin' my guitar and building' castles in the sun, whoa-whoa-whoa
And singin' Fun, Fun, Fun
[Verse 7]
I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well, I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, oh
[Verse 8]
I had a dream
That I was 300 pounds
And though I was very heavy
I floated till I couldn't see the ground
[Verse 9]
I floated till I could not see the ground, oh
Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me, couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me
[Verse 10]
Because I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lyin' in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, oh yeah
[Verse 11]
Drove downtown in the rain
9:30 on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop (Late night record shop)
[Verse 12]
Call it impulsive, you can call it compulsive
You can call it insane, oh-oh
But when I'm surrounded, I just can't stop
