The Boy in the Bubble lyrics

It was a slow day

And the sun was beating

On the soldiers by the side of the road

The was a bright light

A shattering of shop windows

The bomb in the baby carriage

Was wired to the radio

And I believe

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is a long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all, oh yeah

The way we way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in the corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby don't cry

It was a dry wind

And it swept across the desert

And it burnt into the circles of birth

And the dead sand

Was falling on the children

The mothers and the fathers

And the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is a long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all, oh yeah

The way we way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in the corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby don't cry

It was a turn-around jump-shot

Everybody jump start

It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

Medicine is magical and magical is art

You know the boy in the bubble

And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe

These are the days of lasers in the jungle

Lasers in the jungle somewhere

Staccato signals of constant information

A loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires

And baby

These are the days of miracle and wonder

This is a long-distance call

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo

The way we look to us all, oh yeah

The way we way we look to a distant constellation

That's dying in the corner of the sky

These are the days of miracle and wonder

And don't cry, baby don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry
