Bono - Staring at the Sun lyrics

Summer stretching on the gra** Summer dresses pa** 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 gonna get stickier too It's been a long hot summer Let's get under cover 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 take 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 wanna 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 in all around Military's 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 it in the duty free Oh, 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 s**ing my thumb, staring at the sun Not the only one who's happy to go blind
