about

Indie rock song about kinetic and potential energy which partially inspired the album title, and features a cool synthesizer part by David Durst. Marsha says, "One of my favorite lines is 'got joules but not a king' playing with the homophone jewels/joules."

lyrics

Kinetic and potential energy
What kind of work could it be?
It never disappears.
It gets converted — changes gears.
Whether moving or still,
Changing proportionately.

I’m saving it up!
It’s potential energy.
I’m like a coiled up spring.
Poised for my next big thing.
I’m saving it up!

Activate your energy
Be a catalyst for what you want to see
Obey the law thermodynamically
While you create reactions to set us free

When you move through the world, fast and free.
You use kinetic energy.
Round and round or place to place,
Or vibrating in space.
What is your mass and your velocity?

I’m moving around!
I’ve got kinetic energy.
I’m gonna dance and sing!
Got joules, but not a king.
I’m moving around!

Activate your energy
Be a catalyst for what you want to see
Obey the law thermodynamically
While you create reactions to set us free

Activate your energy
Be a catalyst for what you want to see
Obey the law thermodynamically
While you create reactions to set us free
