Experiment IV - Kate Bush

We were working secretly for the military.

Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin.

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 —

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 in the maklng.

From the painful cries of mothers to the terrifying scream

We recorded it andIput it into our machine.

But they told us all tney wanted was a sound

that could kill someone

It could feel like falling in love

it could feel so bad

But it could feel so good

it could sing you to sleep

But that dream is yaur enemy.

We won’t be there to be blamed

we won’t be there to switch.

I iust pray that someone there can hit the switch.

But they told us all they wanted was a sound

that could kill someone

From the distance

so we go ahead

and the meters are over in the red.

It’s a mistake we have made.

And the public are warned to stay ofF.

And the public are warned to stay ofF.
