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 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?

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 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.
