Modest Mouse - Perpetual Motion Machine lyrics

Daniel read the paragraph
He read until the words ran out
It said, "We're all in trouble now"
Poison in the juice carafe
We drank until our thirst ran out
Oh, no, we're in some trouble now

Everyone wants to be a
Perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out

With your teeth to your lips and
Your head to the ground, well
You hear the fish and they're
Making this sound sayin'
"We just want to go and walk around and
Feel what it's like to fall down"

Patrick ran the race yeah
He ran until the time ran out
Oh, no, I'm in some trouble now
Tried to kick it over
I tried until the juice ran out
Oh, no, well what more trouble now

Teeth to your lips and
Your head to the ground, well
You hear the fish and they're
Making this sound sayin'
"We just want to go and walk around and
Feel what it's like to fall down"
That's all!

Everyone wants to be a
Perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
