Aimee Mann - Going Through The Motions

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
