Lyrics

Going Fetal

Hey

Hey

Everyone is going fetal

It's the dance the kids all feel

Just get down under your desk

Feels like your mama's nest, alright

Everyone is going fetal

It's the one thats really real

You're gonna love it if you give it a try

You just lay down like you're gonna die, alright

Hey

Hey

Hey

Everyone is going fetal

If you feel like your fate is sealed

Then just get down and curl on up

Just like a little helpless pup, alright

Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

(Hey)

(Hey)

(Hey)

Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

(Hey) Everyone is going fetal

Going fetal (hey)

Going fetal (hey)
