Hot Hot Heat lyrics - Pickin It Up

album: Elevator (2005)
genre: 

Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out 
I'll join 'em talking 'bout the people everybody talk about 
And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout 

Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 

We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light 
Now it's the 48th hour of a two-day night 
And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight 

Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 

A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none 
Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young? 
The show isn't over, but I'm long since gone 
I feel like I let them down when I don't wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night 

But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out 
I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about 
And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout 

Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down 
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
