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 under cover Don't try too hard to
think Don't think at all
I'm not the only one Staring at the
sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside
I'm
not just deaf and dumb 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 going to itch and burn and sting 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 And those that can't do Often have to
preach
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 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 left it in the
duty free But you never really belonged to me
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 on my thumb I'm staring at the sun Not
the only one Who's happy to go blind
