Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4
Counting in rhythm, setting the pace.
Everybody all come running
People gathering or converging.
Why do they run it so
Questioning the reason for their haste.
Downtown up around they go
Describing the movement in a particular area.
Downtown it's a run around, run around
Emphasizing the chaotic nature of the area.
Downtown it's an up town run around, Go
Further describing the chaotic movement in the area.
Yea, everybody talkin bout the circle in the sand
Discussion about a symbolic 'circle in the sand'.
And the [thinin] of the people will they ever understand?
Questioning if people will comprehend certain things.
And the people in the sequeal and the steeple in the sky
Referencing people and structures in a cryptic manner.
Are the only people set up, I hope they just die
Expressing a lack of hope for specific individuals.
Yea, everybody talkin bout the seal in the sand
Reiteration of previous discussion but in different words.
And the steeple of the sequel will they every understand?
Continuing to question if understanding will occur.
And the people in the window are the victims of the sky
Referencing victims and their placement.
And the lonesome need a farret, I hope they just die, Go
Expressing negative sentiment towards certain individuals.
1, 2, 3, 4,
Recounting the initial counting, potentially emphasizing repetition.
Everybody all come running
Reiteration of people gathering or converging.
Why do they run it so
Repeating the question about their hurried movement.
Downtown up around they go
Describing movement in a particular area again.
Downtown it's a run around, run around
Highlighting the chaotic nature of the area once more.
Downtown it's an up town run around, Go
Continuation of the chaotic movement description.

Everybody walkin on lava
