[Buffy]
Every single night
The same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real
Nothing here is right
I’ve been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I’ve been going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
I was always brave
And kind of righteous
And now I find I’m wavering
Crawl out of your grave
Ya find this fight just
Doesn’t mean a thing
[Vampire]
She ain’t got that swing
[Buffy]
Thanks for noticing
[Vampires & Demons]
She does pretty well
With fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she’s just
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Facing it somehow
[Demon]
She’s not even half the girl she…
…Owwwww!
[Buffy]
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life’s endeavour?
[Good looking guy]
How can I repay…
[Buffy]
Whatever!
I don’t want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can’t even see
If this is really me
and I just wanna be
….Alive

Above: “Ya find this fight just”
Shouldn’t that be “You’ll find this fight just”?

“Doesn’t mean a thing / She ain’t got that swing”
This is a paraphrase of a lyric from a song by Duke Ellington:
“It don’t mean a thing / if it ain’t got that swing.”
