If I pick it up I can put it down,
Whatever it is I just cant stop,
For only 20 seconds at a time its all mine.
I got, too much, pressure,
Got me under its thumb
And its no fun, you can lose
Now I got a choice but I cant choose
Insistent as you are, is no guarantee that youll go far
Rock steady if you can
But Ive never been a steady man,
People, wanna shoot you down,
If you cant swim then you will drown
In sorrow, cant get any medical attention till tomorow,

Sadlands, are where I live,
But thats none of your business,
You keep asking, and soon enough
The kids gonna have to get rough,

Maybe Im a speed king
Push with the foot and Im 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 Im 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 the sound
Absurdity of your suggestion, leaves me asking just one question,
If youre 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 cant stop. (repeat)
