Experiment IV
Kate Bush

[Single] 

     We were working secretly
     For the military.
     Our experiment in sound
     Is 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 

          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. 

               From the painful cries of mothers
               To the terrifying scream
               We recorded it
               And put it into our machines

          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.
