well I'm walkin' them fields, I'm walkin' through that burned out mud
I ain't walkin' for nothin' 'cept to hear my footsteps thud
yeah well you were holdin' the keys
and you left me down on my knees
so I'll go through the motions 'cause there's nothin' I can do to please
yeah so now I'll retreat to that dusk just teamin' with life
oh trite steady beat you just drive right through me like a knife
babe can't you open your eyes
can't you see my sinkin' demise
oh well I'll go through the motions just as long as I'm given the lies
you got that lien on my heart
but you don't got the right to tear it apart
babe, don't you go away
babe, don't you go away...
oh, miss needle-in-the-hay
in that old wooden frame lie the unseen markings of years
and in the eyes that are tame lie the unseen remnants of tears
well my eyes are calm as can be
they learned to take things in and to see
so now I'll go through the motions 'cause there's nothin' you can do for me
