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 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
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`s happy to 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 i`m missing
i left in the duty free
though 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 my thumb
i`m staring at the sun
not the only one
who`s happy to go blind
Ah ah i
ah ah i
ah ah i
ah ah i
