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
