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

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
 Here’s 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
 Here’s the golden one
