When Yer Twenty-Two

The Flaming Lips
Transmissions From the Satellite Heart

Lyrics 

Stuck in the perpetual motion
 Dyin' against the machine
 The whole thing leaves
 You a nothing instead of a these
 The sun is black and the black halos fly
 And your number is backwards again when you try
 The sound is so cute when you're twenty-two
 When you're twenty-two
 ♪
 Eggs break when you walk on the scramble
 You're living against the machine
 The whole thing leaves
 You a nothing instead of a these
 The bone is cracked and the cracked eggshells fly
 And your number is backwards again when you drive
 The whole thing's removed when you're twenty-two
 When you're twenty-two
 ♪
 Stuck in the motion
 Stuck in the perpetual motion
 ♪
 Stuck in the perpetual motion
