My paralyzed brother taps his foot to this beat

Is this potential energy
Going to turn kinetic or what,
Vaulted and assaulted,
The chamber closes shut
Vaulted and assaulted

Scanning strobes at shutter speeds
Pulse preposterously vicious,
But my botanical palms in the front yard
Pose the least suspicious

Act as if you were in REM phase
Act as if you were in REM phase
Act as if you were in REM phase
Act as if you were in REM phase

Is this potential energy going to turn kinetic or what,
Is this potential energy going to turn kinetic or what,

Looking up your skirt, wondering
When she started smiling, While she was being hurt.
Oh well, Stamina is buffering
Too much is never enough suffering
