Red velvet curtains
Open noiselessly
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
