	Story Behind the Song Francis H.C. Crick, who along with James Watson, explained the structure of DNA to the world, wrote a book on human consciousness ("The Astonishing Hypothesis"). The third line of the book is "You're nothing but a pack of neurons." A line like that can't get past a folksinger. My wife, Mary Lou, provided the punch line to the chorus. Lyrics You're Nothing But a Pack of Neurons ©1992 by R.A. and M.L. Gramann with apologies to Francis H.C. Crick You're nothing but a pack of neurons In a shapely bag of goo. All your thoughts and dreams, Your hopes and schemes Are electro-chemical, too. You are what you eat, From your head to your feet, So watch out what you chew. You're nothing but a pack of neurons, But I'm in love with you oo oo, I'm in love with you. The first time I ever saw your face, dear, My ions began to diffuse. Your eyes aglow Made my sodium flow Through those membrane avenues. When our fingers unite, More than synapses excite, And your lips I can't refuse. I know we're more than just a chemical reaction, Cause I'm in love with you oo oo, I'm in love with you. You're nothing but a pack of neurons Controlling a bag of goo. All your thoughts and dreams, Your hopes and schemes Are electro-chemical, too. You are what you eat, 'Cept for what you excrete, So watch out what you chew. You're nothing but a pack of neurons, But I'm in love with you oo oo, I'm in love with you. I'd like to know how my fondest memories Are stored in hydrocarbon slime. I can see your face, Feel your warm embrace, Or just think of you any time. Four million years of evolution, But we only get one lifetime. Let's go and mix our chromosomes together, Cause I'm in love with you oo oo, I'm in love with you. Repeat first chorus
