Break down the tables all again

Work backward, now begin

Got so much closer than last time

But I broke down at the finish line

Before you came I was worse

Now I've had longer to rehearse

I still work each equation through

But don’t always account for you

I am an alchemist I guess

I try to make gold

From my own plans and combinations

Things that have been known

To have dangerous reactions

I mix the wrong, I mix the right

I stir the shadows in the night

Observing all I'm learning now

The patterns of my ups and downs

The hallelujah, the free fall

The bold elixir, the empty hall

Thе sudden eucatastrophe

Thе missing element I need

I am an alchemist I guess

I try to make gold

From my own plans and calculations

Things that have been shown

To have dangerous reactions

The faithless search for joy unseen

Cornerstone of my philosophy

And worst of all, I know the truth

Back and forth I go with... you

I am an alchemist I guess...
