|
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, and |
|
These are the days of miracle and wonder |
|
This is the long-distance call |
|
The way the camera follows us in slow-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 slow-mo |
|
The way we look to us all, oh, 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 |
|
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 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 slow-mo |
|
The way we look to us all, oh, 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 |
