I hear a heartbeat
it's ringing out across the universe


It sounds so lost and lonely

must come from somewhere deep inside of us.

And the operator says:
AII is calm and 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 replies:

Spinning 'round
you're wrapped in blue


there's no one looks as good as you.
This is the world calling
this is earth


this is the world calling
this is us


This is the world calling
this is us

and it goes on and on.

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


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


Wrap me in your arms and keep me warm tonight.

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

. . .
This is the world calling
this is earth


this is the world calling
this is us


This is the world calling
this is earth


This is the world calling
God help us


and it goes on and on and on.


All is calm and all is quiet

close your eyes and sleep tonight -

This is the world calling -
All is calm and all is quiet


close your eyes and sleep tonight -
This is the world calling -
All is calm and all is quiet


you look beautiful for tonight -
This is the world calling


This is the world calling -
Spinning 'round

you're wrapped in blue

there's no one looks as good as you -
This is the world calling
all is calm

all is quiet -
This is the world calling - close your eyes -
this is the world calling.
