Talking to a girl crying down the phone   Now listen to me and try and catch your breath   She said do you see the fear when you look in my eyes   I'd really like to know what happens when we die      Loving couples together for years   Torn apart by their grieving   We can hardly cope with this level of emotion   Two people cannot mourn for years      A doctor from the north, a friend of the family   Is comforting your mother drinking in the front room   I couldn't make the funeral I know it really hurt you   Right now it just seems to me everybody's dying   (When we die, When we die, When we die, When we die...)      When I remember your father as a ghost   Not an old man diagnosed with cancer   Ten weeks later, lying in a hospice bed   Surrounded by loved ones, learning how to die      Talking to a stone, wailing at a grave    Maybe when a year has past, go and see a medium   Bury him with children, blame a suicide   I'd really like to know what happens when we die      Will the dead outnumber the living?   The silent majority, spare parts for surgery   We're not bespoke, we're not best fitted   I'd really like to know what happens when we die      When we die, When we die, When we die, I still miss you   I know I really miss you
