Experiment Iv - Lyrics by Kate Bush


Lyrics
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 pleasuremusic made to thrill.
It was music we were making here until -
But they told us all they wanted was a soundthat could kill someone
From a distanceso we go aheadand 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 and
Iput it into our machine.
But they told us all tney wanted was a soundthat could kill someone. ..
It could feel like falling in loveit could feel so bad
But it could feel so goodit could sing you to sleep
But that dream is yaur enemy.
We won't be there to be blamedwe 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 soundthat could kill someone
From the distanceso we go aheadand the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake we have made.
And the public are warned to stay of
F.
And the public are warned to stay of
F.
