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 lost the need for any desire
  Any desire
  
  I had ambition but it slipped away
  In holy 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 part
  Back to memory and then back to the start
  Back to the start
  
  Back to some familiar song
  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 a bed, my skin aches
  Not even massage can make my body straight
  My body straight
  
  Count to ten and 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
