goin' through the motions

blue oyster cult

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' yeah
