Daniel read the paragraph
He read until the words ran out
It said we're all in trouble now
Poison in the juice carafe
We drank until our thirst ran out
Oh no, we're in some trouble now
Everyone wants to be a perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
With your teeth to your lips
And your hair to the ground
Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound
Saying, "We just want to go on walking around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
Patrick ran the race
Yeah, he ran until the tire ran out
Oh no, I'm in some trouble now
Tried to kick it over
I tried until the juice ran out
Oh no, we want more trouble now
With your teeth to your lips
And your hair to the ground
Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound
Saying, "We just want to go on walking around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
I saw
Everyone wants to be a perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
He read until the words ran out
It said we're all in trouble now
Poison in the juice carafe
We drank until our thirst ran out
Oh no, we're in some trouble now
Everyone wants to be a perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
With your teeth to your lips
And your hair to the ground
Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound
Saying, "We just want to go on walking around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
Patrick ran the race
Yeah, he ran until the tire ran out
Oh no, I'm in some trouble now
Tried to kick it over
I tried until the juice ran out
Oh no, we want more trouble now
With your teeth to your lips
And your hair to the ground
Well, you hear the fish and they're making this sound
Saying, "We just want to go on walking around
And feel what it's like to fall down"
I saw
Everyone wants to be a perpetual motion machine
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out
We all try harder as the days run out

To me this is one of Modest Mouse's most easily interpreted songs.
Perpetual Motion is movement that continues forever, which is physically impossible. A perpetual motion machine is something many people have tried to theorize or create, but never successfully.
This song is saying everyone wants to live forever. Infinite life, like perpetual motion, is long desired and quite impossible.
Living a Life until you die = Reading a paragraph until words run out = Running a race until time runs out
