Bad Alchemy Songtext
von John Greaves

I dream hermaphrodite and I sit up all night
Our eyes on the horizon of a wobbling bowl
Head in hands we ponder dregs the bowl contains
A liquid′s left putrescence after being drained
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved


When I wake I wonder what it means
Am I bad alchemy? It seems
I am itself unmixed, a risk
In a dish for drinking fluid with a strongly
Stinking sentiment
Is that what it meant?

I dream hermaphrodite and I sit up all night
Our eyes on the horizon of a wobbling bowl
Am I hermaphrodite?
Neither one nor quite the other
Head in hands we ponder dregs the bowl contains
A liquid's left putrescence after being
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved

After being
After being
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved
After being drained
