Boomtown Rats This Is The World Calling Lyrics

This Is The World Calling Lyrics

I hear a heart beat

It's ringing out across the universe

It sounds so lost and lonely

It must come from somewhere deep inside of us

And the operator says

"All is calm

All is quiet

Close your eyes and sleep tonight"



This is the world calling

This is earth

This is the world calling

This is us



I'm on a train now

I'm moving through the yellow fields of rape

There's so much beauty

I wished that I believed enough to pray

Then the operator says

"Spinning 'round, you're wrapped in blue

There's no-one looks as good as you"



This is the world calling

This is us

And it goes on and on



What we going to do because it can't go on

Wrap me in your arms and keep me warm tonight



This is the world calling

God help us
