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 sticker, 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?
3--- 12 -- 12 -- 12 --12/14--
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
1--- 12 --- 12 --- 12 -- 12 --
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
