[Spoken Intro]
In-board cut-off
In-board engines out
We confirm inboard cut-off
Down range 35 miles, 30 miles high. Standing by for the off-board engine cutdown now
[?]
And ignition
11, Houston. Thrust is Go, all engines, you're looking good
Columbia now 9 times the speed of sound
Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN 23
The, uh, tracking data, map data, and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
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, driving home
And you asleep on the seat

[Pre-Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
I'd get out of my car
Step into the night
And look up at the sky
And there's something bright
Traveling fast

[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
Just look at it go!
Just look at it go!

[Bridge: Male Czech Choir Passage]

[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
Hello, Earth
Hello, Earth
Watching storms start to form
Over America
Can't do anything
Just watch them swing with the wind out to sea

[Verse 3: Kate Bush, Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Kate Bush, Chorus]
I was there at the birth
Out of the cloudburst, the head of the tempest
Murderer!
Murderer of calm!

[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
Why did I go?
Why did I go?

[Bridge - Extended: Male Czech Choir Passage]

[Outro]
Tiefer, tiefer
Irgendwo in der tiefe
Gibt es ein licht

Go to sleep, little Earth...

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
