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 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
You step back inside
You're not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
You're not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind
, x2
There`s an insect in your ear, If you scratch it won`t disappear
Gonna 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
Those that can`t do...often have to preach
To the ones
Starin` at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
You step back inside
You're not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
You're not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind
, x2
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 I`m missing
I left in the duty free
She never really belonged to me
I`m not the only one
Starin` at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
You step back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go, happy to go
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go, happy to go, happy to go...blind
after the song, he comes in and does...
Ohh OhhOhh Ohhh Uh uh Ohhhhhhhhh...
