verse 1 So many times I've had that hopeless feeling And no kind of booze or medicine helped at all I'm drowning in too many contradictions I'm about to lose all my self control Water builds up Water boils oh-oh-oh-ver Gettin' too hot (gettin' too hot) The pot's starting to whistle (woo woo woo woo) It's running over the edge (running over the edge) It's steaming up my aching head The water getting higher There's a dam bursting in my soul Too many no's when I really needed yes for an answer Too many times on my sad and lonely way Feels are comin' in, pressure building up too quickly Working hard all day, never any time to play Bridge Buildin' up inside of me Deep down inside workin' free Buildin' up deep inside Buildin' up, I hope it sighs Water builds up Water boils oh-oh-oh-ver Gettin' too hot The pot's starting to whistle It's running over the edge It's steaming up my aching head The water getting higher There's a dam bursting in my soul Water builds up Water boils oh-oh-oh-ver Gettin' too hot (gettin' too hot) The pot's starting to whistle (woo woo woo woo) It's running over the edge (runnin' over the edge) It's steaming up my aching head The water getting higher There's a dam bursting in my soul
