Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
[Verse 2]
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
[Verse 3]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
[Verse 4]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
[Verse 5]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
[Verse 6]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
[Verse 7]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
[Verse 8]
Who knows does not speak
Who speaks does not know
Keep the mouth closed
Rounding the sharpness
Untie the tangles
To be infinite
To be vacuous
Untie the tangles
To be vacuous
[Verse 9]
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo
