Lyrics

[Verse 1] Drove downtown in the rain Nine-thirty 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 A matter of fact You can call me Pavlov's Dog Ring a bell and I'll salivate Now, how'd you like that? Dr. Landy, tell me you're not just a pedagogue 'Cause right now I'm [Chorus] Lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Whoa [Verse 3] So I'm a-lyin' here Just starin' at the ceiling tiles And I'm thinkin' 'bout, ohh, what to think about Just listenin' and re-listenin' To Smiley Smile And I'm a-wonderin' if this is some kind of creative drought Because [Chorus] I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Whoa [Verse 4] And if you wanna find me, I'll be Out in the sandbox Just wonderin' where the hell all the love has gone I'm playin' my guitar, and buildin' Castles in the sun, whoa-whoa, ooh-whoa And singin' "Fun, Fun, Fun" [Chorus] I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm Lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Whoa [Bridge] I had a dream That I was three hundred pounds And though I was very heavy I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground - whoa... Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground Somebody help me, couldn't see the ground Somebody help me... Because I [Chorus] I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Well I'm I'm lyin' in bed, just like Brian Wilson did Ooh, yeah! [Verse 1] Drove downtown in the rain Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night Just to check out the late-night record shop (Late-night record shop!) Call it impulsive, you call it compulsive You can call it insane - oh-ho! But when I'm surrounded, I just can't stop...
