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 w onder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows u s in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant co nstellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and w onder
And don't cry baby, d on't cry
Do n'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 w onder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows u s in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant co nstellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and w onder
And don't cry baby, d on't cry
Do n'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
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the days of lasers i n the jungle
Lasers in the ju ngle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant inf ormation
A loose af filiation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and w onder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows u s in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant co nstellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and w onder
And don't cry baby, d on't cry
Do n't cry
