CAPSULE BABY

[Verse 1] A little blue thing on the floor The baby finds it by the door Round and shiny, smooth and bright He holds it up against the light Down below, a million eyes Are studying the changing skies They've mapped the stars They've named the seas They know a thousand mysteries [Pre-Chorus] Tiny fingers Round and round Something shakes Beneath the ground [Chorus] Oh, baby, baby What have you done? One little drop And the rivers run A hundred-year flood From a sleepy little smile Oh, baby, baby Stay for a while You don't know You don't know There's a world In the thing you hold [Verse 2] He puts the blue thing in his mouth A little breeze comes blowing out Across the world, the sirens cry A hurricane fills up the sky He gives it one small, happy shake A thousand mountains start to quake The baby laughs And kicks his feet The whole world moves Beneath his seat [Pre-Chorus] Tiny fingers Round and round Something shakes Beneath the ground [Chorus] Oh, baby, baby What have you done? One little drop And the rivers run A hundred-year flood From a sleepy little smile Oh, baby, baby Stay for a while You don't know You don't know There's a world In the thing you hold [Bridge] They built a tower To watch the stars They sent a message Out so far "Is anybody out there? Can you hear us now?" The baby yawns And puts it down [Final Chorus] Oh, baby, baby Close your eyes The oceans settle The clouds drift by A hundred years And the world survives Oh, baby, baby Sleep tonight You don't know You don't know There's a world In the thing you hold [Ending] One little finger Moves in his sleep Far below— The mountains shake.
