Going Through The Motions Lyrics - The Forgotten Arm - Aimee Mann

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
