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 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.
