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 get undercover
Don't
try too hard to think, don't think at all
I'm
not the only one 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
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
And
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 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 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
