About

“Goin' Through the Motions” is a classical 70’s/80’s pop-rock ballad. The song talks about sex – probably with groupies. It’s also about holding hard relationships, which connects perfectly with Allen Lanier’s breakup with Patti Smith at the time. Even though it’s the album lead single, the music di...

Goin’ Through the Motions Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
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

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
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

[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
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

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
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

[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
It's a game, it's a game
No let's call it a shame
'Cause 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 okay

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
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
