Alchemy

Red velvet curtains Open noiselessy Lovers and children Strain their necks to see A figure in the dark Now almost revealed A swirl of velvet cloak And now he's disappeared Alchemy Close up on the lips Shiny shiny red Whispering What was that she said? A lightning flash A sudden silhouette "Who's there?", "A friend" A glowing cigarette Alchemy Thrill, to secrets never told Taste, the bitter turned to sweet See, the dross turned into gold Hear, a B sharp turned to C Beautiful dancers Fly into the air Enchanted by a melody That isn't really there The savage beast Has turned into a man The curtains close To open on command Alchemy
