This Is The World Calling Lyrics - Boomtown Rats

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
