Staring At The Sun

Summer stretchin’ on the grass Summer dresses pass

In the shade of a willow tree Creeps are crawling over me

Over me and over you, stuck together with God’s glue

It’s gonna get stickier too, It’s gonna be a long hot summer

Lets get under cover,Don’t try to hard to think,don’t think at all

R: You’re not the only one staring at the sun

Afraid of what you’ll find, If you step back inside

I’m not just deaf and dumb I’m staring at the sun

I’m 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

Those that can't do often have to... preach

R: To the ones staring at the sun...

Afraid of what you'll 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 is 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 I left in the duty free

Though you never really belonged to me

R: You're not the only one staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun

Not the only one who's happy to go blind
