Staring at the Sun

Staring at the Sun - Early morning, April 4

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 go undercover

Don't try too hard to think don't think at all

I'm not the only one starin' 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 we ever live in peace?

Cause those that can't do often have to

Those that can't do often have topreach

To the ones staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumbstaring at the sun

I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all aroundmilitary is still in town

Armour plated suits and tiesdaddy 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

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 inside

I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun

Not the only one who's happy to go blind
