Evidently Goldfish Lyrics & Chords By Peter Hammill

Check the honesty of what's on offer,
true detective or a fake fakir?
All the evidence is circumstantial –
as mud the evidence is clear.
Paranormal the investigation –
where do things go when they disappear?
All the evidence has been trumped up…
as mud the evidence is clear,
I think we're on to something here,
I think we're into something,
I don't know but maybe we're all goldfish
in the mental sphere.
Evidently goldfish,
never questioning environment;
self-evidently goldfish,
we swim in circular experience.
Church of logical deliberation,
school of accidental wheels in gear,
surface knowledge is a serious matter,
a little consciousness is dangerous, dear;
all the evidence must be summed up –
as mud the evidence is clear,
as mud the evidence is clear,
I think we're into something, I don't know but
maybe we're all goldfish in the mental sphere.
Evidently goldfish
never question their environment;
self-evidently goldfish,
we swim in circular experience;
evidently goldfish,
round and round and round and round
within our consciousness
in the mental sphere.
As mud the evidence is clear.
