Lyrics for Perpetual Motion Machine
Daniel read the paragraph, he read until the words ran out It's sayin' 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 on walking 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, we want more trouble now 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 on walking around And feel what it's like to fall down" I saw 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
