Breathing
Kate Bush

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 fall-out in

Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in


We've lost our chance

We're the first and the last

After the blast

Chips of plutonium

Are twinkling in every lung


I love my

Beloved

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, 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 itself and it is by the duration of this flash that we are able to determine the size 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 recognizable 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)

Please

(What are we going to do without)

Let me breathe

(What are we going to do without)

Quick, breathe in deep

(We are all going to die without)

Leave me something to breathe

(What are we going to do without)

Leave me something to breathe

(We are all going to die without)

God, please leave us something to breathe

(What are we going to do without)

Oh, life is
