GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS Oct. 27/84 Karl Rigelhof

Are you just going through the motions
Or are you just acting out your part from memory
Do you really have a notion
Or are you walking around with a closed mind
With no need to see

Are you just flowing through emotions
Or are you just playing with your feelings deep inside
(You wonder) what is all of the commotion
Or is love simply just another one of your games
From which you seek to hide

Are you just showing through devotions
Or are you just pretending to be one of the gang
Will you drink the sacred potion
Or was the dream so sweet that you drank too deep
Until your ears rang

With the pain
From the refrain
Of going through the motions

CHORUS:
Do you want to aspire to greatness
Or do you wish to remain humble and meek
Will you remain true and faithless
Do you comprehend these words (that) I speak
Or am I just going through the motions
Going through the motions
