Through the Motions Songtext
von Black Star Riders

Well, I′ve giving you all I got
Now I'm nothing
So get back to your own sweet oblivion
I′m going out to get hurt tonight
That's all there
We might as well just keep on dancing
I put my faith in original sin
A lifetime of lies went undiscovered
I put it all on black until I won it back
I left no tracks uncovered

You better change some things
Or some things are gonna change


Do you
Do you ever get the notion?
'Cuz you′re
′Cuz you're going through the motions
You
Do you ever get the notion?
That you′re
That you're just going round again

Modesty dies the minute we′re born
You learn to swear before you can talk
Every fool that preys on honor and faith
Knows deep inside that the game is lost
The years we wasted, the tears we tasted
Tattoed our lovers' names under our skin
Be your own messiah in this mortal coled world
A halo, wings, horns and a tail

You better change some things
Or some things are gonna change

Do you
Do you ever get the notion?
′Cuz you're
'Cuz you′re going through the motions
You
Do you ever get the notion?
That you′re
That you're just going round again


Threw in my money and made a wish
Wished for my own independence
So run on home before it′s dark
Pull out the arrows
From your bleeding heart

Do you
Do you ever get the notion?
'Cuz you′re
'Cuz you′re going through the motions
You
Do you ever get the notion?
That you're
That you're just going round again
