Kate Bush - Experiment IV lyrics
[Kate Bush - Experiment IV lyrics]
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
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 cry of mothers
To the terrifying scream
We recorded it and put it into our machine
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 that we're 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
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 were over in the red
It's a mistake we've made
And the public are warned to stay off
