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
