lyrics

That lampshade is too dark
Blocks out our inner sun
How can we see to progress?
To know how far we’ve come?

Going through the motions
Pretending that we’re fine
Show our face in public
Our friends are none the wise
Going through the motions
An inevitable decline
Maybe it’s just time

I’ll leave this key behind me
You know just what it fits
If you want to unlock it
It’s yours to take the risk

Going through the motions
Pretending that we’re fine
Keep up an appearance
Just waiting to resign
Going through the motions
Another glass of wine
Maybe it’s just time...
