Richard Thompson
It’s Just the Motion
When you're rocked on the ocean
Rocked up and down, don't worry
When you're spinnin' and turnin'
Around and around, don't worry
You're just feeling seasick
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 the landlord is knocking
And your job is losin', don't worry
When the baby needs rockin'
And your friends are confused, don't worry
You're just feeling seasick
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 keepin' 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
Can't hear the storm
It's as peaceful as can be
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 keepin' 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
Don't worry, don't worry
'Cause under the ocean
At the bottom of the sea
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
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
