Fixed Positions

[Verse 1]

When your position remains fixed, my dear

Results can be mixed, I fear

There's a stasis

No new ideas and no new faces

Misadventures and far-flung places

Don't get me wrong, it's not dull

[Chorus]

But if you stay here long enough, I fear we'll always be this way

And if you're screwing up your face, oh, won't it always stay that way?

Always be this way

Will we always stay this way?

[Verse 2]

You know there really isn't much preventing

The way you see the world cementing

There's a stony creep in

Cradle to gravе or forever weeping

Rounded on our sidеs, you're forever sleeping

Promise to resist until you die (Resist until you die)

Promise to resist until you die

[Bridge]

An object set in motion (An object set in motion)

The arbiter of time (Arbiter of time)

The unexpressed emotion (Unexpressed emotion)

Capital crime (Capital crime)

So pick a random number (Pick a random number)

Making sure it's prime (Making sure it's prime)

Pick a random number between one and one-hundred-and-nine

[Chorus]

Stay here long enough and you will always be this way

And when you're screwing up your face, oh, won't it always stay that way?

And when we're sheltering in place, oh, won’t we always be this way?

Always be this way

Will we always stay this way? (Will we always stay this way? Will we always stay this way?)

Will we always stay this way? (Will we always stay this way? Will we always stay this way?)

Will we always be this way? (Will we always stay this way?)

[Outro]

When your position remains fixed

Results can be mixed

I fear there's a stasis
