The Reservoirs - Perpetual Motion Machine Lyrics

Someone put a patch on that bleeding heart
Someone melt the ice in those veins
Someone simplified the great divide
And left a watermark with their name

I talked to Nathan the other day
About his perpetual motion machine
Two magnets in a box pushing away from each other
Spinning on and on endlessly

Someday, somehow, someway
We're gonna figure it out

There may be thousands of miles between us
That I won't try to walk in your shoes
There may be hundreds of people in stories you've heard
That may or may not be true

And in that wooden box we spin
Shouting facts and casting blame
And the people we cite throw back their covers
To rise and do the same
Only to rise and do the same

Someday, somehow, someway
We're gonna figure it out
