lyrics

Put it all down - wonder around
We build it up - they tear it down
Land that I love - changin’ too fast
They’re smokin your grass & steelin your past

All the people
are a movin
And your layin
On the floor

Times a skippin
We are sleepin
like an old dog
At the wheel

Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn
Oh, Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn


Riding the line - skippin' the signs
Payin' your dues - servin' your time
They'll take you have - in their evil ways
Eyes in the dark , shifting the frames

One decision
Of derision
No it Ain't right
Not At all

Simply said friend
not to offend
times a knockin’
on your door

Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn
Oh, Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn

oh it’s alright
If you want to burn
Yeah it’s alright
with me
oh it’s alright
If you want to burn
Yeah it’s alright
with me
oh it’s alright
If you want to burn
Yeah it’s alright
with me
oh it’s alright
If you want to burn
Yeah it’s alright
with me

Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn
Oh, Don’t stare at the sun
Don’t stare at the sun
Engines starting to turn
Starin’ to turn
