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 gonna get stic
kier too.
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard 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 wanna 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 in
side.
Not just deaf and dumb, staring at the
sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go
blind.
Intransigence in all around
Military’s still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't sat 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 in the
duty free,
Oh, though 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 in
side.
I'm not sucking my thumb, staring at the
sun
Not the only one who's happy to go
blind.
