experiment iv

we were working secretly for the military

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 cries of mothers to a terrifying scream

we recorded it and put it into our machine

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

it could feel like falling in love

it could feel so bad

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

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

and the public are warned to stay off
