All the vicious operations of eternity and bliss And the ever-changing moments Some I witness, some I miss I'm just going through the motions Like a sunset, like a stem On that never-ending highway Hoping someday to thumb a friend ♪ In the stillness I can hear it Like a light that's dying out Over every humming engine Over nervousness and doubt I'm just going through the motions Like a sunset, like a stem On that never-ending highway Hoping someday to thumb a friend Ooh, friend Carry me away into a long forgotten dream Someone, turn the page I'm losing balance, I'm losing steam Carry me away, don't you hear me when I say? I'm just going through the motions Like a sunset, like a stem On that never-ending highway Hoping someday to thumb a friend Ooh, friend Ooh, friend ♪ Why don't they ask you? Even in things you're good at, why do they make you the outsider?
