Staring at the Sun (Lab Rat Mix) — текст песни (U2)

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 under cover
Don`t try too hard to think
Don`t think at all


I`m not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
If you took a look inside


I`m 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 going to itch and burn and sting
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`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 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
But 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 on my thumb
I`m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind
