Close My Eyes

Close My Eyes - Manic Street Preachers

Close my eyes and then I count to ten

Shake some hands and then I feel ashamed

I'm in control but I am out of time

I've lost need for any desire

Any desire

I had a vision but it slipped away

Inherited goodness it is here to stay

It's not about us anymore

It's 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

I'm back to the stuff that made us all

Back to reality back to f**k all

It's not about us anymore

It's 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 I'm home

Just a job I get wellpaid for

It's not about us anymore

It's not about us 'bout us anymore

I

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes
