Lyrics
Too wild to care, you got animal stare
You got "stay anywhere" in your eyes
Think you're leading me on, but you can be anyone
Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise
And we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Staying with you gave us something to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
'Cause there's love in your lies, you're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
And we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
To thee, I dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it, "love to you," again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
It's a game, it's a game, no, let's call it a shame
For there's no one to blame just to pay
You were a friend for a day, so don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's OK
And we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Yeah, yeah, we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Yeah, we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, goin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're goin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, we're goin'
