PAUL SIMON - The Boy In The Bubble lyrics

rate me

It was a slow day<br>And the sun was beating<br>On the soldiers by the side of the road<br>There was a bright light<br>A shattering of shop windows<br>The bomb in the baby carriage<br>Was wired to the radio<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>This is the long distance call<br>The way the camera follows us in slo-mo<br>The way we look to us all<br>The way we look to a distant constellation<br>That's dying in a corner of the sky<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>And don't cry baby, don't cry<br>Don't cry<br><br>It was a dry wind<br>And it swept across the desert<br>And it curled into the circle of birth<br>And the dead sand<br>Falling on the children<br>The mothers and the fathers<br>And the automatic earth<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>This is the long distance call<br>The way the camera follows us in slo-mo<br>The way we look to us all<br>The way we look to a distant constellation<br>That's dying in a corner of the sky<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>And don't cry baby, don't cry<br>Don't cry<br><br>It's a turn-around jump shot<br>It's everybody jump start<br>It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts<br>Medicine is magical and magical is art<br>The boy in the bubble<br>And the baby with the baboon heart<br><br>And I believe<br>These are the days of lasers in the jungle<br>Lasers in the jungle somewhere<br>Staccato signals of constant information<br>A loose affiliation of millionaires<br>And billionaires and baby<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>This is the long distance call<br>The way the camera follows us in slo-mo<br>The way we look to us all<br>The way we look to a distant constellation<br>That's dying in a corner of the sky<br>These are the days of miracle and wonder<br>And don't cry baby, don't cry<br>Don't cry
