Staring At The Sun (Live From The Foro Sol Autodromo, Mexico City, Mexico, 1997) [Remastered 2021]

Lyrics

[Intro] We don't have much sun there Where we come from So Mexico City Thank you, thanks for the burritos [Verse 1] Summer stretchin' on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps a-crawlin' 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 [Chorus] You're not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside I'm not just deaf and dumb I'm starin' at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind [Verse 2] There's an insect in your ear If you scratch, it won't disappear It's gonna itch and burn and sting You wanna see what the scratchin' brings? Waves that leave me out of reach Breakin' on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? 'Cause those that can't do often have to No, those that can't do often have to preach [Chorus] To the ones Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you took a look inside I'm not just deaf and dumb I'm starin' at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind [Interlude] Mexico Mexico Mexico [Verse 3] Intransigence in all around The 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 somethin' missin' I left it in the duty free, oh But you never really belonged to me [Chorus] I'm not the only one Starin' at the sun Afraid of what you'd find As you step back inside Not suckin' on my thumb Starin' at the sun I'm not the only one Who's happy to go blind Happy to go blind [Post-Chorus] Happy to go blind Happy to go blind I'm happy to go, happy to go Happy to go blind [Outro] Thank you Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh
