Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

Close My Eyes

I close my eyes and then I count to ten

Shake some hands and then I feel ashamed

Im in control but I am out of time

Ive lost the need for any desire

Any desire

I had a vision but it slipped away

Inherited goodness, it is here to stay

Its not about us anymore

Its not about us, bout us anymore

I close my eyes and then I count to ten

I open them and then I shut them again

Look at the crowd and then forget my parts

Back to memory and then back to the start

Back to the start

Im back to the stuff that made us all

Back to reality back to fuck all

Its not about us anymore

Its not about us, bout us anymore

Close my eyes and then I count to ten

Sign some papers and then they are my friends

Attempt to make up and my skin aches

Not even massage can make my body straight

My body straight

Count to ten and then pretend Im home

Just a job I get well-paid for

Its not about us anymore

Its not about us, bout us anymore

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes
