Kate Bush - Experiment Iv lyrics

We were working secretly

For the military.

We only know in theory

What we are doing:

Music made for pleasure,

Music made to thrill.

It was music we were making here until

They told us

All they wanted

Was a sound that could kill someone

From a distance.

So we go ahead,

And the meters are over in the red.

It`s a mistake in the making.

It could feel like falling in love.

It could feel so bad.

But it could feel so good.

It could sing you to sleep--

("I`ll bet my mum`s gonna give me a little toy instrument!")*

But that dream is your enemy.

We won`t be there to be blamed.

We won`t be there to snitch.

I just pray that someone there

Can hit the switch.

But they told us

All they wanted

Was a sound that could kill someone

From a distance.

So we go ahead,

And the meters are over in the red.

It`s a mistake we`ve made.

And the public are warned to stay off.
