Intro: Summer stretching on the grass summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree creeps are 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 go undercover Don't try to 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 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 you 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 I'm 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 I'm missing I left in the... duty free You never really... belonged to me You're not the only one staring at the sun Afraid of 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
