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 gonna 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 take 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 wanna 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 in all around military s 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 oh though 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 my thumb staring at the sun not the only one who s happy to go blind1
