Just the Motion
When you're rocked on the ocean
Rocked up and down, don't worry
When you're spinning and turning round and 'round
Don't worry
Hmm, you're just feeling sea-sick
You're just feeling weak
Your mind is confused
And you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
When your landlord is knocking
And your baby needs rocking, don't worry
When your job is losing
And your friends are confusing, don't worry
Oh, you're just feeling sea-sick
You're just feeling weak
Your mind is confused
And you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
Blown by a hundred winds
Knocked down a hundred times
Rescued and carried along
Beaten, and half-dead, and gone
And it's only the pain
That's keeping you sane
And gives you a mind to travel on
Oh, the motion won't leave you
Won't let you remain, don't worry
It's a restless wind
And a sleepless rain, don't worry
'Cause under the ocean
At the bottom of the sea
You can't hear the storm
It's as peaceful as can be
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
Rocked up and down, don't worry
When you're spinning and turning round and 'round
Don't worry
Hmm, you're just feeling sea-sick
You're just feeling weak
Your mind is confused
And you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
When your landlord is knocking
And your baby needs rocking, don't worry
When your job is losing
And your friends are confusing, don't worry
Oh, you're just feeling sea-sick
You're just feeling weak
Your mind is confused
And you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
Blown by a hundred winds
Knocked down a hundred times
Rescued and carried along
Beaten, and half-dead, and gone
And it's only the pain
That's keeping you sane
And gives you a mind to travel on
Oh, the motion won't leave you
Won't let you remain, don't worry
It's a restless wind
And a sleepless rain, don't worry
'Cause under the ocean
At the bottom of the sea
You can't hear the storm
It's as peaceful as can be
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
It's just the motion, it's just the motion
