Staring At The Sun - 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 go 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
i'm 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'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 is 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
staring 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
