Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps are 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
Staring at the Sun Staring at the Sun
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 do Often have to preach
Staring at the Sun Staring at the Sun
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 You never really belonged to me
You're not the only one Staring at the Sun Afraid of what You'd find You stepped back inside I'm not sucking on my thumb Staring at the Sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind Happy to go blind Happy to go blind...
