Kate Bush - Breathing lyrics

Outside gets inside through her skin
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in

Last night in the sky 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 fallout 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 it'self is

Breathing out, in, out, in, out, in
Breathing, breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing, breathing her nicotine
Breathing, breathing the fallout in
Out in, out in, out in, out in
Out in, out in, out in, out
Out out out out out

"In point of fact it is possible
To tell the 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 it'self - and it
Is by the duration of this flash that we are
Able to determine the size of the weapon"
What are we going to do without?
"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?
Let me breathe!
What are we going to do without? Ooh, quick!
We are all going to die without
Breathe in deep!

What are we going to do without?
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
We are all going to die without
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
What are we going to do without? Oh, God
Please leave us something to breathe!
We are all going to die without oh, life is
