Album: Hounds Of Love

Hello earth

";Columbia now nine times the speed of sound.";
";Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN
locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three.";
";The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned
trajectory are all one line on the block";
";Roger (?) your (?) block (?) decoded (? recorded?)";
Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little Earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky.
And there's something bright,
Travelling fast.
Look at it go!
Look at it go!
[A men's choral passage in either Czekh or Russian is sung here.]
(";Listen!";)
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America.
Can't do anything.
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea.
All you sailors,
(";Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!";)
All life-savers,
(";Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!";)
All you cruisers,
(";Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!";)
All you fishermen,
Head for home.
Go to sleep, little Earth.
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
[The men's choral passage is sung again several times here.]
";Tiefer, tiefer.
Irgendwo in der Tiefe
Gibt es ein licht.";
Go to sleep little Earth.
