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
