U2 - Staring At The Sun

Staring At The Sun

Summe r stretching on the grass
Summe r dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a-crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with Gods glue
Its gonna get stickier too.
Its been a long hot summe r
Lets get under cover
Dont try too hard to think
Dont think at all.
Imnot the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what youd find
If you take a look inside.
Not just deaf and dumb
Imstaring at the sun
Not the only one
Whos happy to go blind.
There is an insect in your ear
If you scratch it wont disappear.
Its gonna itch and burn and sting
Do you wanna see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach.
Wi will we ever li have in peace?
Cause those that can not do often have to
And those that can not do often have to preach
To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you wi will find if you took a look inside.
Not just deaf and dumb, staring at the sun
Imnot the only one whod rather go blind.
Intransigence in all around
Militarys sti will in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just wont say goodbye
Referee wont blow the whistle.
God is good but wi will he listen?
Imnearly great but there is some thing missing.
I left it in the duty free,
Oh, though you never really belonged to me .
you are not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what youd find if you stepped back inside.
Imnot sucking my thumb, staring at the sun
Not the only one whos happy to go blind.
