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
