Lyrics "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
I'm 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
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`s happy to 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 I left in the duty free
Though 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 my thumb
I`m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind
