"Staring at the Sun"

from Pop

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 go 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 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

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
