Their crumpled spines and crippled postures
Their heavy heads from looking down night and day
Their vertebrae sticking out of their backs like dragon spikes
Their bony fingers petting their small creations
Giving pushes where they’re needed to sustain the rotation
Keep 'em turning
Turning, turning
Their small games, creations
Consist of a person
Who repeats one thing
Like the woman who runs in circles ‘cause of two right feet
Like planet man who re-dips his orbs into color
The creatures say:
“Be safe, be safe, be safe
Aaaah”
They say:
“Be safe, be safe, be safe
Aaaah”
“Continue
As I’m keeping you going round in
The Well-Known
Continue (A circle in a circle in a)
As I’m telling you that you’re safe in (Circle in a circle)
Your safety zone” (What is my role? Where am I in the game? Am I my own person or am I the same?)
Crumpled spines, heavy heads, dragon spikes
Aaaah, aaaah
In exuberance
They’re addicted to
The Perpetual
Bony fingers are petting their small creations
Aaaah, aaaah
Giving pushes, sustaining rotation
Aaaah, aaaah
As they watch their games
Turning round and round
They themselves are being watched too (Aaaah, aaaah)
Aaaah, aaaah
Hoonah, oonah, hoonah, oonah-ha (Be safe)
Be safe, be safe, oonah-ha (Aaaah)
Be safe, be safe, oonah-ha (Aaaah)
Keep on turning, oonah-ha (Be safe)
“Continue
As I’m keeping you going round in
The Well-Known
Continue
As I’m telling you that you’re safe in
Your safety zone”
Where am I in the game? (Too safe, too safe, too safe)
Where am I in the game? (Too safe, too safe, too safe)
Where am I in the game?
Should I break out or should I push replay? (Too safe, too safe, too safe)
Should I break out or should I push replay? (Too safe, too safe, too safe)
“Continue (A circle in a circle in)
As I’m keeping you going round in (A circle in a circle in a circle in)
The Well-Known (What is my role? Where am I in the game?)
Continue (A circle in a circle)
As I’m telling you: you are safe in (A circle in a circle)
Your safety zone” (What is my role? Where am I in the game? Am I my own or am
“Continue
As I’m keeping you going round in (In a circle in a circle in a circle in)
The Well-Known (What is my role? Where am I?)
Continue
As I’m telling you: you are safe in
Your safety zone” (What is my role? Where am I in the game? Am I my own or am I the same?)
