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 complusive
Call it insane
But when I'm surrounded I just can't, stop
It's a matter of instincts
A matter of conditioning
A matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog
Ring a bell and I salivate
How'd you like that?

Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am

And though I was very heavy
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me
I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm
Chorus
Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late-night
Record shop
Call it impulsive
You can call it compulsive
You can call it insane;
But when I'm surrounded
I just can't
Stop
