U2 – Staring at the Sun (Mike Hedges Mix) Lyrics

Artist: U2
Song: Staring at the Sun (Mike Hedges Mix)

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 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’ll find
If you took a look inside
I’m not just deaf and dumb

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 going to itch and burn and sting
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 it in the duty free
But 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 sucking on my thumb
Staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

I’m not the only one…
