Something isn´t right I don´t know how I know But baby, it´s despite Your dog-and-pony show
I can hear it coming You´re only going through the motions, baby With your engines humming You´re just going through the motions, baby
Feel 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 just 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
