Sun Don't Shine - Soul Asylum

Picture if you will a house on the hill

Where the family kills each other for a place in the will

Understand that he came a dirty old man

That holds a plastic rosary in the palm of his hand

And under the rug you will sweep (under the rug you will sweep)

Secrets and promises that you can’t keep (promises that you can’t keep)

The dam it will leak, it will weep

Said «I'd like to tell you how I feel», you said «You know that can’t be real,

it’s much too deep»

Why’d you wanna watch and wait, you can’t walk on water

Get your feet on the ground

There’s a hole in the floor, hole in the door

Whole wide world waiting to turn you around

And under the rug you will sweep (and under the rug you will sweep)

Secrets and promises you can’t keep (promises that you can’t keep)

The dam it will leak, it will weep

Said «I'd like to tell you how I feel», you said «You know that can’t be real,

it’s much too deep»

Now how will you keep yourself busy?

Take the trouble you’re leaving behind

And dig down deep where you do not belong there

Shine a light where the sun doesn’t shine

Seven days, still no sign of daylight

Your tunnel’s collapsing from behind

And how the hell did I get to Alaska

Will it shine, the light where the sun doesn’t shine?
