All these words you speak to me
Are from a foreign land
You’re telling me that birds don’t fly
How can it be that you love her?
You don’t have to raise your voice
I still don’t understand
There’s me and you, and you and me
So how can it be that you love her?
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy, now it’s all gone
Here’s the golden one
Alchemy, now it’s all gone
She is the golden one
So what are you saying?
We’ve got to dismantle it all
Rip off the paper, smash up the walls
How can it be that you love her?
Take all of the things
We so carefully made
Take all of the lies that you’ve betrayed
How can it be that you love her?
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy, now it’s all gone
She is the golden one
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy, now it’s all gone
She is the golden one
