staring at the sun lab rat mix

U2

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 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 took a look inside

I m not just deaf and dumb
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 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 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 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
But 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 on my thumb
I m staring at the sun
Not the only one
