Lyrics

Hot Motion

Fourteen days of commotion
Thirteen days in the star
Twelve fun days of destruction
We bore
Eleven days of reaction
Ten long days in the wind
Nine more days of destruction
We begin

You take the cab and you pay
And you witness it go
You see the words as they fall
You see the rivers below

Eight more days of surrender
Seven more days in the thrill
Six days of temptation
Then we are still

Hot Motion, Hot Motion
Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, only want the divine
Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, one 'for I'm gonna decide

Drea-dreaming of the start
Shi-shining from the start
Drea-dreaming of the start
Shi-shining from the start

5 more days of sensation
4 long days in the dark
3 more days of delusions with the mark
2 more days of sedation
1 more day left to go
We stand still in the ocean
And let body flow

Hot Motion, Hot Motion
Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, only want the divine
Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, one 'for I'm gonna decide

Drea-dreaming of the start
Shi-shining from the start
Drea-dreaming of the start
Shi-shining from the start

Drea-dreaming of the start
Shi-shining from the start

Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, only want the divine
Hot Motion, Hot
Hot Motion, one 'for I'm gonna decide

    An entertaining, if overly familiar, trip into 60s psychedelia.
