Summer stretching on the grassSummer dresses passIn the shade of a willow treeCreeps a crawling over meOver me and over youStuck together with God's glueIt's going to get stickier tooIt's been a long hot summerLet's get under coverDon't try too hard to thinkDon't think at allI'm not the only oneStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'd findIf you took a look insideI'm not just deaf and dumbStaring at the sunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blindThere's an insect in your earIf you scratch it won't disappearIt's going to itch and burn and stingYou want to see what the scratching bringsWaves that leave me out of reachBreaking on your back like a beachWill we ever live in peace'Cause those that can't doOften have toAnd those that can't doOften have to preachTo the onesStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'll findIf you took a look insideNot just deaf and dumbStaring at the sunI'm not the only oneWho'd rather go blindIntransigence is all aroundMilitary still in townArmour plated suits and tiesDaddy just won't say goodbyeReferee won't blow the whistleGod is good but will He listenI'm nearly greatBut there's something missingI left it in the duty freeBut you never really belonged to meYou're not the only oneStaring at the sunAfraid of what you'd findIf you stepped back insideI'm not sucking on my thumbI'm staring at the sunNot the only one
