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 get 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 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 And those that can't do Often have to preach To the ones staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd 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, ah But you never really belonged to me You're not the only one Starin' 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 I'm not the only one Who's happy to go blind

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down, but I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway (Hey) Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way (Hey) Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down But I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun

She's like starin' at the sun She could easily blind someone Other women, I see none She's like starin' at the sun She gets on you Under your skin like a tattoo She'll always be there She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song She ain't goin' nowhere She's like standin' in the rain Washes all my cares away At the end of a long, hot day She's like standin' in the rain She gets on you Under your skin like a tattoo She'll always be there She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song She ain't goin' nowhere She gets on you Under your skin like a tattoo She'll always be there She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song She ain't goin' nowhere She's like finally coming home And seeing that light in the window on After being gone too long She's like finally coming home Standin' in the rain Starin' at the sun

Watch the sunset, hold it from afar Close as I get to being where you are While there's light left, I sing this song for you Don't know if you care, but every day I do Here I stand, staring at the sun Distant land, staring at the sun You're not there, but we share the same one Miles apart, staring at the sun Distant hearts, staring at the sun One thing's true, just like you, there's only one And I don't care if it burns my eyes And I don't care 'cause my love is blind From staring at the sun, oh-oh From staring at the sun From staring at the sun, oh-oh From staring at the sun Send my love down in those rays of light Through your window, on your tired eyes Say good morning, say it to the sun Like you're talking, talking to someone Here I stand, staring at the sun Distant land, staring at the sun You're not there, but we share the same one Miles apart, staring at the sun Distant hearts, staring at the sun One thing's true, just like you, there's only one And I don't care if it burns my eyes And I don't care 'cause my love is blind From staring at the sun, oh-oh From staring at the sun From staring at the sun, oh-oh From staring at the sun

Congratulations on the mess you made of things I'm trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings And oxidation is the compromise you own But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants a bone, say La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la You force your fire and then you falsify your deeds Your methods dot the disconnect from all your creeds And fortune strives to fill the vacuum that it feeds But this is beginning to feel like the dog's lost a lead, say La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la This is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never This is beginning to feel like it's curling up slowly and finding a throat to choke This is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never Barely controlled locomotive consuming the picture and blowing the crows, the smoke This is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never Static explosion devoted to crushing the broken and shoving their souls to ghost Eternalized, objectified, you set your sights so high But this is beginning to feel like the bolt busted loose from the lever Never mind, death professor Your structure's fine, my dust is better Your victim flies so high All to catch a bird's eye view of who's next Never you mind, death professor 'Cause love is life, my love is better Your victim flies so high Eyes could be the diamonds confused with who's next Never you mind, death professor Your shocks are fine, my struts are better Your fiction flies so high Y'all could use a doctor who's sick, who's next? Never you mind, death professor Electrified, my love is better It's crystallized, so am I All could be the diamond fused with who's next This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever
