staring at the sun

it's in the morning papers, it's in the evening news
and it's all decided by just a few loose screws
but it's what you know
and it's where you live
so you do what you do and you give what you got to give

lived my life about as fast as i could run
spent a little too much time maybe staring at the sun
but i was afraid if i blinked i'd miss the fun

and in the movie he's lookin for the perfect girl
luck is the superstition of the western world
and then he finds her
and she's the one
and all the rest is just the best is yet to come

lived my life about as fast as i could run
spent a little too much time maybe staring at the sun
but i was afraid if i blinked i'd miss the fun

hey, what's that you say
when you don't know any other way
and you just want to get back out there today and play

but it's what you know
and it's where you live
so you do what you do and you give what you got to give

lived my life about as fast as i could run
spent a little too much time maybe staring at the sun
but i was afraid if i blinked i'd miss the fun
