SUMMER streching 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 I`m 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`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 flow 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
