Heads on a silence apart
Heads on a science apart
I was disgusting.
I was just guessing.
I'm going back to the stars.
I'm going back to the start.
It's such a shame for us to fart.
It's such a shame for us to part.
It's such a shame for us to park.
It's such a shame for us to part.
Questions of science, science and programs
Questions of science, science and progress
He pronounces the word "progress" with a long O sound
Run into jerkos,
Jay-Z in jail,
Complete bad-ass we are.
Running in circles
Chasing tails
And coming back as we are.
Running in circles, chasing at tails.
Running in circles, comin' up tails.
Running in circus
Chasing potatoes
And coming back as we are.
Running in circles
Chasing tails
And coming back as we are.
Running in psychos, chasing in chaos.
Running in circles, chasing in tails.
Tell me you love me
Come back and hug me
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Tell you I sent you a card.
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell you a story
Tell you I'm sorry
