Close My Eyes Lyrics - Lipstick Traces: A Secret History Of Manic Street Preachers - Manic Street Preachers

I 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 the need for any desire, any desire 

I had a vision but it slipped away 

Inherit 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 up and 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 fuck 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 

Photos 

Count to ten and then pretend I'm home 

Just a job I get well paid for 

It's not about us anymore 

It's not about us, 'bout us anymore 

I close my eyes, I close my eyes 

I close my eyes, I close my eyes
