Err, I'm gonna have to throw a flag on that play.  Voltage is only a measure of electrical potential relative to some arbitrary fixed point.  As such, it doesn't "go" in any sense of the word that I know of.  It only "is".

Current, OTOH, "goes".  Especially through a 30 year old light switch on a lonely road well after dark.  Well, until it doesn't, anyway...
