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 

There was a bright light 

A shattering of shop windows 

The bomb in the baby carriage 

Was wired to the radio 

These are the days of miracle and wonder 

This is the long distance call 

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo 

The way we look to us all 

The way we look to a distant constellation 

That's dying in a corner of the sky 

These are the days of miracle and wonder 

And don't cry baby, don't cry 

Don't cry 

It was a dry wind 

And it swept across the desert 

And it curled into the circle of birth 

And the dead sand 

Falling on the children 

The mothers and the fathers 

And the automatic earth 

These are the days of miracle and wonder 

This is the long distance call 

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo 

The way we look to us all 

The way we look to a distant constellation 

That's dying in a corner of the sky 

These are the days of miracle and wonder 

And don't cry baby, don't cry 

Don't cry 

It's a turn-around jump shot 

It's everybody jump start 

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

Medicine is magical and magical is art 

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 the long distance call 

The way the camera follows us in slo-mo 

The way we look to us all 

The way we look to a distant constellation 

That's dying in a corner of the sky 

These are the days of miracle and wonder 

And don't cry baby, don't cry 

Don't cry
