Lyrics Pickin' It Up - Hot Hot Heat

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
(Pickin' it up but then I put it back down)
I’ll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about
(Pickin' it up but then I put it back down)
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
