Whatever it is. I just can't stop

If I pick it up, can I put it down, -Whatever it is I just can't stop, -For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine. -I got, too much, pressure, -Got me under it's thumb -And it's no fun, you can lose-Now I got a choice but I can't choose -Insistent as you are -Is no guarantee that you'll go far -Rock steady, if you can -But I've never been a steady man, -People, wanna shoot you down, -If you can't swim then you will drown -In sorrow, -Can't get no medical attention till tomorrow, -Sadlands are where I live, -But that's none of your business, -You keep asking, and soon enough -The kids gonna have to get rough, -Maybe I'm a speed king -Push with the foot and I'm smiling, -I can glide on the love inside, -And there was you thinking that my hands were tied -All along I saw you hoping -I would slip and I'm not joking -The evidence in these events -Is still your lack of commonsense -Did you really think that I would sink -Because I like another drink -Have to get up to get down -The remedy is in the sound -Absurdity of your suggestion, -Leaves me asking just one question, -If you are my friend today? -Why do you wanna hear me say?
