When you're rocked on the ocean, rocked up and down, 
don't worry 
When you're spinning and turning round and around, 
don't worry 
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 the landlord is knocking and your job is losing, 
don't worry 
And the baby needs rocking and your friends are 
confusing, don't worry 
You're just feeling sea-sick, you're just feeling weak 
Your mind is confused and you can't seem to speak 
Oh, 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 

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
