The sun taunts you
|
In everything you do
|
Like a substance that works for everyone else
|
But has no effect on you
|
|
It shines for places
|
You¡¯ll never go
|
It shines for people
|
You¡¯ll never know
|
|
You believe that in your entire life
|
You will never feel
|
What it¡¯s like
|
|
So you turn away
|
Dream about an escape
|
A hole in the earth deep and cool
|
That you could climb down into
|
|
I despise the rising
|
Of the upsetting sun
|
I¡¯ll hide away
|
Until the day is done
|
|
I¡¯ll exclude myself
|
A few months of every year
|
To avoid the drama
|
Of the sun, sweat and tears
|
|
You could fall away
|
And no one would know
|
Release the tension of holding on
|
Feel the high of letting go
|
|
So you turn away
|
Elude the pressures of the sun
|
Go find your place in the shade
|
Far away from everyone
|
|
It¡¯s so easy to get your fill
|
When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt
|
It¡¯s so easy to be satisfied
|
When all you want to do is lay down and die
|
|
The Allure of the Earth
|
Those dreams can come true
|
When you make a deal with the earth
|
Who says¡¦
|
¡°Here¡¯s what I can do for you¡¦¡±
|
|
The Allure of the Earth
|
When you are through with trying
|
When you are tired and days are long
|
Letting go seems so inviting
|
|
The Allure of the Earth
|
The desire to give up
|
It is the encouragement
|
When you are discouraged
|
|
The Allure of the Earth
|
When the urges aren¡¯t worth fighting
|
The temptations on the great beyond
|
Become so exciting
|
