[Silence]
[Arrangement: Fast, playful piano-rock with bouncing bass, handclaps, organ stabs, and chant-style call-and-response vocals]
[Intro]
Pass it round
(Don’t slow down!)
[Verse 1]
Nobody wants
(To hold the blame)
Everybody’s smiling
(While they duck the game)
Round and round
(It goes again)
From one set of hands
(To another friend)
It’s getting hotter
(By the second now)
But no one stops
(To ask just how)
They toss it quick
(And act surprised)
When it lands right there
(Before their eyes)
[Refrain]
Pass it round
(Pass it fast)
Don’t be found
(Holding last)
Pass it round
(Pass it fast)
Don’t be found
(Holding last)
[Verse 2]
The music’s playing
(Everybody grins)
Nobody wants
(To be the one it pins)
You can laugh
(And fake control)
But sooner or later
(It takes its toll)
The room gets tense
(Though no one says)
How close the trouble
(Really plays)
One wrong beat
(One mistimed throw)
And suddenly
(You’re in the show)
[Bridge]
Could be a problem
(Could be debt)
Could be a promise
(We haven’t met)
Could be a burden
(No one claims)
Could be a fire
(Without a name)

[Piano Solo]
[Breakdown]
Don’t hold it
(Quick, quick, quick!)
Too long now
(Ouch and wow)
Hot potato
(No time to sleep)
[Final Refrain]
Pass it round
(Pass it fast)
Don’t be found
(Holding last)
Pass it round
(Pass it fast)
Don’t be found
(Holding last)
Pass it round
(Pass it fast)
Too hot now
(To outlast)
[Outro]
Don’t wanna learn
(From the burn)
