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

[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
