[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
As mud the evidence is clear
Paranormal the investigation –
Where do things go when they disappear?
All the evidence has been trumped up…
[Refrain]
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
In the mental sphere
[Chorus]
Evidently goldfish
Never questioning environment;
Evidently goldfish
Swim in circles of experience
[Verse 2]
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 –
[Refrain]
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
In the mental sphere
[Chorus]
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
In the mental sphere
In the mental sphere
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
As mud the evidence is clear
As mud the evidence is clear
As mud the evidence is clear
