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, 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!")
|
|
"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?"
|
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 die without?"
|
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--Breathing.
