Staring At The Sun
Summer stretching on the grassSummer dresses passIn the shade of a willow treeCreeps a crawling over meOver me and over youStuck together with God's glueIt's going to get stickier tooIt's been a long hot summerLet's get under coverDon't try too hard to thinkDon't think at all
I'm not the only oneStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'll findIf you took a look insideI'm not just deaf and dumbStaring at the sunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your earIf you scratch it won't disappearIt's gonna itch and burn and stingYou want to see what the scratching bringsWaves that leave me out of reachBreaking on your back like a beachWill we ever live in peace?'Cause those that can't doOften have toAnd those that can't doOften have to preach
To the onesStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'd findIf you took a look insideNot just deaf and dumbI'm staring at the sunI'm not the only oneWho'd rather go blind
Intransigence is all aroundMilitary still in townArmour plated suits and tiesDaddy just won't say goodbyeReferee won't blow the whistleGod is good but will He listenI'm nearly greatBut there's something missingI left it in the duty free areaBut you never really belonged to me
You're not the only oneStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'd findYou step back insideNot sucking on my thumbI'm staring at the sunI'm not the only oneWho's happy to go blind…
