William The Conqueror - Manawatu Lyrics

Hand in my pocket
Mind on the run
If someone could stop it
Then stop it someone
Silent as midnight in Manawatu
A shape in the headlights
The navy-est blue

Lined up and restless
Moving at speed
No time for confessors
No patience, no need
The stars in their millions
In Manawatu
Never so nervous
With nothing to do

Get me to the other side
And call me by a different name
Know me by a different way
It's not escape if you don't hide
There's no hiding in Manawatu
There's no hiding in Manawatu

Maybe you'll see me
And maybe you won't
Unsure of anything
I do and then don't
We never went through with
Stealing the signs
Wrapped as we're frozen
In wishes and time

Get me to the other side
And call me by a different name
Know me by a different way
It's not escape if you don't hide
There's no hiding in Manawatu
There's no hiding in Manawatu
