[Intro] Four pails of water and a bag full of salts [Verse 1] That is all we are, that is all a man comprises Chemicals alone, with no spirit, soul or ghost Nothing so bizarre No amount of faith disguises What is true is what we fear the most [Verse 2] Nothing can survive save the things men leave behind them Any other case would be really too absurd If thoughts remained alive Surely modern science would find them? No, the soul is nothing but a word [Verse 3] All the wonders Man achieves emerge from cerebral tissue Chemical reactions ebb and surge form that Thing that is you... Its a sad philosophy, but better sad than wrong Face the truth instead When youre dead youre dead When youre gone youre gone... When youre gone youre gone When youre gone youre gone When youre gone youre gone When youre gone youre gone Now shes gone [Bridge] Four pails of water and a bag full of salts [Verse 4] That is all she was, all my lover represented That sounds just as mad as saying she will never die Fools may clutch at straws But truth must not be circumvented As the tree falls, so must that tree lie!

Once I would have answered clearly Now I only think Im nearly sure So nearly sure Ooh, no, no, no [Outro] Once I would have answered clearly Now I only think Im nearly sure
