If I pick it up, can I put it down,
Whatever it is I just canīt stop
For only 20 seconds at a time itīs all mine.
I got, too much, pressure,
Got me under itīs thumb
And itīs no fun, you can lose
Now I got a choice but I canīt choose
Insistent as you are
Is no guarantee that youīll go far
Rock steady, if you can
But Iīve never been a steady man,
People, wanna shoot you down,
If you canīt swim then you will drown
In sorrow,
Canīt get no medical attention till tomorrow,
Sadlands are where I live,
But thatīs none of your business,
You keep asking, and soon enough
The kids gonna have to get rough,
Maybe Iīm a speed king
Push with the foot and Iīm 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 Iīm 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 canīt stop
[Repeat]
