[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus]
