Depot Street - The Alchemist

{Verse 1}
It’s not what I want it to be
The ingredients I have
Don’t match my recipe
But I haven’t yet lost
I will discover the secret
Of transubstantiation
Hidden, but I will seek it
Breath bated, fingers crossed

{Chorus}
The mystic moves, sleight of hand
According to his lofty plan
Spinning fool’s gold from the hay
Trying to have it my way

{Verse 2}
Patience is all I need
It’ll go my way
What isn’t yet, I’m sure will be
When my work’s performed
You tell me clearly what it’s not
But you don’t know my power
I aim to change what we’ve got
We will be transformed

{Chorus}
The mystic movеs, sleight of hand
According to his lofty plan
Spinning fool’s gold from the hay
Trying to have it my way

{Bridge}
I hеar what you say
But you don’t see the future
It can be my way
I will not accept failure

{Verse 3}
Odds are stacked against me
Inconsequential
I will let nothing prevent me
From realizing my design
Naysayers tell me, “keep searching”
But what I want’s before me
I think my magic is working
And I will make it mine

{Chorus}
The mystic moves, sleight of hand
According to his lofty plan
Spinning fool’s gold from the hay
Trying to have it my way
