U2 - Staring At The Sun lyrics

rate me

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 If you took a look inside 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 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`d find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I`m not the only one Who`s happy to 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 I`m missing I left in the duty free Though you never really belonged to me You`re not the only one Starin` 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 Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I
