cross the street from your storefront cemetary hear me hailing from inside and realize i am the conscience clear in pain or ecstacy and we were all weaned my dear upon the same fatigue staring at the sun oh my own voice cannot save me now standing in the sea it's just one more breath and then down i go your mouth is open wide the lover is inside and all the tumults done collided with the sign you're staring at the sun you're standing in the sea your body's over me note the trees because the dirt is temporary more to mine than fact face name and monetary be what you will and then thrown down your life oh it's a damned fine game and we can play all night beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean quietly pour out like light like light, like answering the sun you're staring at the sun you're standing in the sea your mouth is open wide you're trying hard to breathe the water's at your neck there's lightning in your teeth your body's over me

“Staring at the Sun” foi lançado em 2004 como o primeiro single da banda, acompanhando dois arquivos de vídeo QuickTime no CD.
Os B‑sides “Freeway” e “On a Train” foram extraídos do álbum *OK Calculator*, mantendo a mesma vibe experimental da faixa principal.
A faixa alcançou a posição nº 41 na lista “Top 500 songs of the 2000s” publicada pelo Pitchfork Media, destacando sua influência dentro do indie rock.
O compositor Dave Sitek revelou que a música foi escrita em apenas dois dias, refletindo o ritmo acelerado de produção do grupo.
A composição destaca-se pela linha de baixo com fuzz e pelas notas de guitarra distorcida, além de contar apenas com Tunde Adebimpe e David Andrew Sitek na gravação, com participações de Nick Zinner (guitarra) e Katrina Ford (backing vocals).
