Brian Wilson (Live|Album Version) - Barenaked Ladies

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

It's a matter of instinct

It's a matter of conditioning

It's 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

Cause right now I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Well I'm lying in bed

Just like Brian Wilson did

So I'm lying here

Just staring at the ceiling tiles

And I'm thinking about what to think about

Just listening and relistening to Smiley Smile

And I'm wondering

If this is some kind of creative drought

Because I am

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Well I'm lying in bed

Just like Brian Wilson did

And if you want to find me

I'll be out in the sandbox

Wondering where the hell all the love has gone

Playing my guitar

And building castles in the sun

And singing "Fun Fun Fun "

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Well I'm lying in bed

Just like Brian Wilson did

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

Somebody help me I couldn't see the ground

Somebody help me I couldn't see the ground

Somebody help me because I'm

Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

Well I'm lying in bed

Just like Brian Wilson did

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
