Lyrics for Song: Going Through The Motions
Lyrics for Album: The Forgotten Arm [2005]
Something isn't right
I don't know how I know
But baby, it's despite
Your dog-and-pony-show
I can heart it coming
You're only going throuhg the motions, baby
With your engines humming
You're just going through the motions
Feels like I'm in jail
With you and Mr. Hyde
A guy who leaves a trail
About a mile wide
So it starts already
That you're going through the motions, baby
You can throw confetti
But you're still going through the motions, baby
Going through the motions, baby
They'll have a big parade
For every day that you stay clean
But when the trumpets fade
You'll go under like a submarine
And you won't see it coming
No, you won't see it coming
You could have it made
Up there in San Rafael
But baby, I'm afraid
I'll never see you well
Because I've seen the tally
And you're just going through the motions, baby
To a big finale
That comes from going through the motions, baby
Going through the motions, baby
Going through the motions, baby
You're just going through the motions, baby
