staring at the sun
Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps a crawling over me Over me and over you Stuck together with God's glue It's going to get stickier too It's been a long hot summer Let's get undercover Don't try too hard to think Don't think at all I'm not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind  There's an insect in your ear If you scratch it won't disappear It's gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? 'Cause those that can't do often have to And those that can't do often have to preach  To the ones staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I'm not the only one Who'd rather go blind  Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won't say goodbye Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will he listen I'm nearly great But there's something I'm missing But I'm feeling like duty free, ah You never really belonged to me  You're not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you stepped back inside I'm not sucking on my thumb I'm staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind  Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I
