Summer stretchin’ 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 gonna get stickier too It’s gonna be a long hot summer Let’s get under cover Don’t try to hard to think, don’t think at all R: You’re not the only one staring at the sun Afraid of what you’ll find If you step back inside I’m not just deaf and dumb I’m staring at the sun I’m 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 Will we ever live in peace? Cause those that can't do often have to Those that can't do often have to... preach R: 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 R: 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
