The Boy In The Bubble
|
(Paul Simon cover)
|
|
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,
|
|
(Pause)
|
|
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 o-yeah,
|
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
|
|
(Pause)
|
|
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 think of
|
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 o-yeah,
|
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 don't cry
|
|
oooooooooEmmmmmmmmmmm........
