People In The Sun

I was split in two
I was going through
Some kind of thermal nuclear reaction

I come down to this place
To feel you on my face
Sweet and heavy just like the rain

But if you ask me who do you think you are

We'll just carry on
You'll never grind us down
Through our longest night
We'll make the sweetest sound
No we'll never run
We're the people in the sun
People in the sun
People in the
Sun

Your reign is at an end
Try to pretend
These ever stretching shadows don't bring you down

I know there's nothing you
Would like to say or do
No reason to move, no need for distraction

But if you ask her who do you think you are

We'll just carry on
You'll never grind us down
Through our longest night
We'll make the sweetest sound
No we'll never run
We're the people in the sun
People in the sun
People in the
Sun

Sun
Sun
Sun

Details:

Hopper's People in the Sun demonstrates a variant of the realism that has dominated much of American art. His paintings were always spare, and as his work progressed, sunlight and large, empty spaces assumed more and more importance.
