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 wad 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
