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 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 is 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
|
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
|
