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

Cross the street from your storefront cemetery Hear me hailing from inside and realize, I I am the conscience clear In pain or ecstasy And we were all weaned my dear Upon the same fatigue You're staring at the sun Oh, my own voice cannot save me now It's just standing in the sea One more breath And then I go down Your mouth is open wide The lover is inside And all the tumults done Collided with the sign You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea Your body's over me Note the trees because The dirt is temporary More to mine than fact face Name and monetary Beat the skins and let the Loose lips kiss you clean Quietly pour out like light Like light, like answering the sun You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea Your mouth is open wide You're trying hard to breathe The water's at your neck There's lightning in your teeth Your body's over me You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea Your mouth is open wide You're trying hard to breathe The water's at your neck There's lightning in your teeth Your body's over me, play all night You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea Your mouth is open wide You're trying hard to breathe The water's at your neck There's lightning in your teeth Your body's over me You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea You're staring at the sun You're standing in the sea
