PETER GABRIEL - The Boy In The Bubble lyrics
rate me<span class="feat">(originally by Paul Simon)</span><br>
<br>
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, and<br />
<br />
These are the days of miracle and wonder<br />
This is the long-distance call <br />
The way the camera follows us in slow-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, 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 />
<br />
These are the days of miracle and wonder<br />
This is the long-distance call <br />
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo<br />
The way we look to us all, oh, yeah<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, 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 />
Think of the boy in the bubble <br />
And the baby with the baboon heart<br />
<br />
And I believe<br />
These are 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 />
<br />
These are the days of miracle and wonder<br />
This is the long-distance call <br />
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo<br />
The way we look to us all, oh, yeah<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, don't cry, don't cry
<br><br><br><br>
<br>
