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
