HOT HOT HEAT LYRICS - Pickin' It Up

"Pickin' It Up"



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
