Rock a bye baby
You're the sweetest child
And when the wind blows
I will hold you tight
How can I talk to you about the shape of love?
You better watch out
There's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your wife goodbye
'Cause you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Ring a ring a roses
Floating on the sea
Sing your song for sixpence
But don't ask me to believe
No don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your child goodbye
You know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
Dirty politicians
With Coca-Cola smiles
Tiny little babies
Are weaned on their lies
Don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cause now you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cause now you know it's time to die
You're the sweetest child
And when the wind blows
I will hold you tight
How can I talk to you about the shape of love?
You better watch out
There's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your wife goodbye
'Cause you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Ring a ring a roses
Floating on the sea
Sing your song for sixpence
But don't ask me to believe
No don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your child goodbye
You know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
Dirty politicians
With Coca-Cola smiles
Tiny little babies
Are weaned on their lies
Don't talk to me about the shape of love
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cause now you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cause now you know it's time to die

"Bombers in the Sky" is a song by Thompson Twins, which was released in 1989 as the second single from their seventh studio album Big Trash. The song was released as a cassette single in the US and also received promotional-only releases on 12-inch vinyl and CD. The song was featured in the movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch and clips of the film were used in the music video.
In a review of Big Trash, Rick Nathanson of the Albuquerque Journal considered the song to have a "lullaby feel" with a "sinister nuclear warning".
