MODEST MOUSE LYRICS - Perpetual Motion Machine

"Perpetual Motion Machine"



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 hair to the ground

Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound

Saying, "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 tire 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 hair to the ground

Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound

Saying, "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
