00:24They told me once to turn away
00:30Said she'd burn you if you stayed
00:36But when she smiled beneath that neon sign
00:41I swore I saw the moon in her eyes
00:47Every mood, a shimmer in the dark
00:53Every word, a match to the spark
00:56I knew the danger, still I crossed that line
01:02Now the fire's crawling up my spine
01:09Midnight alchemy
01:12She's mixed in smoke and sin and sympathy
01:18Turns a warning into poetry
01:23And I can't break free tonight
01:29Midnight alchemy
01:33She's got that wild electricity
01:38And though I know what's wrong with me
01:42I keep calling her name
01:51Still I heat through a motel hall
01:55Silver rings and a southern drawl
02:01Every kiss is another goodbye
02:05Every whisper pulls a tie
02:11Her laughter's paint on a windowpane
02:15Sweet perfume a hint of pain
02:20I see a shadow where the daylight dies
02:26A restless spirit still on the rise
02:33Midnight alchemy
02:35She's turning broken hearts
02:39She's turning broken hearts to melody
02:42Got the moonlight working under me
02:46And I can't see the end inside
02:53Midnight alchemy
02:57She's mixing mercy with her sorcery
03:03Draws me closer when I try to flee
03:08And I still can't see the light
03:15Maybe I'm the fool they try to save
03:20Maybe love's the curse I crave
03:25She's got that fever that don't fade with dawn
03:32And by the time it's gone
03:35Oh, I'm gone
03:44Midnight alchemy
03:48She's still the fire they said she'd be
03:53Got the moon where her heart should be
03:57And I can't turn away
04:05I can't turn away
04:12Midnight alchemy
04:22Midnight alchemy
04:36Midnight alchemy
04:37Midnight alchemy
04:47Midnight alchemy
04:50Amen.
