Motion

The feel of the action
Is far behind
The fruit of the action
Gas nailed you down... dragged you down...
-Progress (3x)-
Sealing up reaction
Overwhelms your conscience
Leads to more diversion
And pulls you down
Coming to attention
Going through the tension
Praying for the sanction
You're reading out
Chorus
The feel of the action
The seed of the action
Will drag you down
Twenty fallen angels
Heading for salvation
Heading for the sanction
Will soil the sky
Gain a new dimension
Take a new direction
Whirlwind of emotion
For now's the time
-Progress, process, protest, no rest (8x) + integration of
"Feel..."
Chorus
The feel of the action...
Has nailed you down... dragged you down...
Nailed you down...
Nailed you down...
-Progress (16x)-
Twenty fallen angels
Heading for salvation
Heading for the sanction
Have reached the sun
Coming to attention
Going through the tension
Praying for the sanction
You're fading out
-I know this addiction
It's all in the passion-
Chorus
The seed of the action
The feel of the action
Has nailed you down...
