Forever Delayed
Manic Street Preachers · Lipstick Traces [2003]
Trapped in this eternity
Stranded helpless, endlessly
Alone, the lost vigilantes
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
From the city to the sea
Will you all come follow me
To a place where we are free
Not tied to guilt or tied to greed
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever betrayed
Forever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever ever betrayed
Forever delayed
