Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"Hiding In Plain Sight"

Keep the curtains drawn all day
The mirror is a trap that fails
Saw a portrait of myself
Made a promise to be kept
Yes, the procession is long
But the time is very short
Leave the traces far behind
For the future ones to find

Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all day
The mirror is a trap that saves
Or a debt that makes you pay
See you hiding in plain sight
And I wanna be in love
With the man I used to be
In a decade I felt free

And as I walk the soft parade
See you standing in the rain
Yes, I knew this thing would end
I did not know where or when
As I walk the soft parade
Will you please take me back
To the beach where I once ran
With my toes dipped in the sand

Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all day
The mirror is a trap that saves
Or a debt that makes you pay
See you hiding in plain sight
And I wanna be in love
With the man I used to be
In a decade I felt free

Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all day
Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all day
Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all day
Love's in hiding, hate displayed
Keep the curtains drawn all...
