Paul Simon 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 o 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
And 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
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
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
