Summer stretching on the grass
Su mmer dresses pass
In the shade of the willow tree
Cr eeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you
St uck together with gods glue
It's gonna' get stickier, too
It's been a l ong, hot summer
Lets get undercover
Don't t ry to hard to think, don't think at all
I'm not the only one,
St aring at the sun.
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm n ot just deaf and dumb
St aring at the sun
Not the only one
Who'd rather go bl ind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You w ant to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Br eaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace?
'Cause t hose that can't do
Often have to
And t hose that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
St aring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
No t just deaf and dumb
I'm st aring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go bl ind
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 missing
I l eft it in the duty free yeah
But you n ever really belonged to me
You're not the only one
St aring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
You step back inside
Not s ucking on my thumb
I'm st aring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go bl ind
