Lyrics Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson

Drove downtown in the rain

nine-thirty on a tuesday night,

just to check out the late-night

record shop.

call it insane;

but when I'm surrounded

I just can't

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.
