Breathing
Kate Bush

from Never for Ever
 

          Outside 
          Gets inside, ooh, 
          Through her skin. 
          I've been out before 
          But this time it's much safer in. 

          Last night in the sky, ooh, 
          Such a bright light. 
          My radar send me danger 
          But my instincts tell me to keep 

               Breathing, 
                    ("Out, in, out, in, out, in...") 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing my mother in, 
               Breathing my beloved in, 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing her nicotine, 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing the fall-out in, 
               Out in, out in, out in, out in. 

          We've lost our chance. 
          We're the first and the last, ooh, 
          After the blast. 
          Chips of Plutonium 
          Are twinkling in every lung. 

          I love my 
          Beloved, ooh, 
          All and everywhere, 
          Only the fools blew it. 
          You and me 
          Knew life itself is 

               Breathing, 
                    ("Out, in, out, in, out...") 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing my mother in, 
               Breathing my beloved in, 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing her nicotine, 
               Breathing, 
               Breathing the fall-out in, 
               Out in, out in, out in, out in, 
               Out in, out in, out in, out... 
               ("Out!") 
               ("Out!") 
               ("Out!") 

                    "In point of fact it is possible to tell the 
               ("Out!") 
                    difference between a small nuclear explosion and a large one by a
                    very simple method. The calling card of a nuclear bomb is the
                    blinding flash that is far more dazzling than any light on
                    earth--brighter even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration 
                    of this flash that we are able to determine the size 
               ("What are we going to do without?") 
                    of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise,                                         sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things around the                     area of the explosion, and as this ascends, it soon becomes                     recognisable as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration                     of the flash duration test let's try and count the number of                     seconds for the flash emitted by a very small bomb; then a more                     substantial, medium-sized bomb; and finally, one of our very                     powerful, "high-yield" bombs. 

               "What are we going to do without?" 
          Ooh please! 
               "What are we going to do without?" 
          Ooh, let me breathe! 
               "What are we going to do without?" 
          Ooh, Quick! Breathe in deep! 
               "We are all going to die without!" 
          Ooh, leave me something to breathe! 
               "What are we going to do without?" 
          Oh, leave me something to breathe! 
               "We are all going to die without 
          Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!" 
               "What are we going to do without?" 
          Oh, life is--Breathing.
