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 Gods glue
Its going to get stickier too.. .
Its been a long hot summer
lets go undercover
Dont try too hard to think... dont think at all
Im not the only one starin at the sun
Afraid of what youd find if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb im staring at the sun
Not the only one whos happy to go blind
Theres an insect in your ear if you scratch it wont disappear
Its 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 cant do often have to
Those that cant do often have to... preach
To the ones staring at the sun...
Afraid of what youll find if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun
Im not the only one whod rather go blind
Intransigence is all around... military is still in town
Armour plated suits and ties... daddy just wont say goodbye
Referee wont blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen
Im nearly great
But theres something Im missing I left in the duty free
Though you never really belonged to me
Youre not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what youd find if you stepped back inside
Im not sucking my thumb Im staring at the sun
Not the only one whos happy to go blind
