lyrics

Smoke in the fields
As the druids, they pray
What would you say
If you met me today?

Smoke in the fields
As the druids, they pray
What would we say
If we saw them today?

Burning of candles
As light as the day
If we could see them
Then what would we say?

This love
Whispering, jealous, possessive and strong
Spitting its poison from serpentine tongue
Was it just like this when we were young?
All this bad alchemy
Coming undone

Raising the spectre, the phantom, the ghost
Here at the feast that the last of them host
What other name would you have but the rose?
So this bad alchemy goes

We were so happy
Once upon a time
Once upon a tortured rhyme
Line by empty line

I promised a room with a view
But all that we got was this closet for two
And it's filled with your shoes
And with all of my blues

You know I ain't no superman
No I'm not even that other man
So what can I do for you, babe?
My Louis Lane, ball and chain

Well I haven't got the energy to be chasing you no more
No, I haven't got the strength to be facing you no more
I'm happier here with a half empty beer
And the radio nailed to the floor

This love
Can you give a definition?
Can you use it in a sentence?
Can I get a helping hand
'Cause I no longer understand
How can I follow?
If I haven't got a clue?
Or something I can use?
This bad alchemy
This love

This love
Digs beneath the skin
And I can feel it
And I can feel it crawling

This love
Burrows deep within
And I can feel it
Crawling
