The Alchemist

Nobody feels any pain,
Tonight is the last time inside the rain.
And everybody knows,
That baby's got new clothes.
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows,
Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman, oh yes, she does,
And she makes love just like a woman, yeah.
And she aches just like a woman,
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend,
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again.
Nobody has to guess,
Baby can't be blessed,
Till she finally sees she's like all the rest,
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does,
And she makes love just like a woman, yeah.
She aches just like a woman,
And she breaks just like a little girl.

Oh, it was raining at first,
I was dying there of thirst.
So I came here, I came here, believe me,
And your long-time curse hurts.
But what's worse,
Is this pain in here.
Oh, I can't stay here, no,
Now ain't it clear, no.

I just don't fit,
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit.
Ands when we meet again,
Introduced as friends,
Please don't let on that you knew me when,
I was hungry and it was your world.

You fake just like a woman, yes you do,
And you make love just like a woman, yeah.
And you ache just like a woman,
And you break just like a little girl.

Nobody feels any pain,
Tonight is the last time inside the rain.
Everybody knows,
That baby's got new clothes.
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows,
Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does,
And she makes love just like a woman, yeah.
And she aches just like a woman,
But she breaks just like a little girl.
