Lyrics

When I was young I was told I showed promise
That I could be anything that I wanted
But no one did predict
I’d become the world’s greatest alchemist

Step right up and get ready for the show
I can turn the dullest penny into gold
Curious it’s a wonder to behold
I can even make myself believe you love me
When you don’t

It’s only taken a lifetime of practice
To hone the skill and to master the craft
If I cheat to pull off the trick
Then I must or I just can’t live with it

Step right up and get ready for the show
I can turn the dullest penny into gold
Curious it’s a wonder to behold
I can even make myself believe you love me
When you don’t

Spare me your indifference
I don’t care no I won’t take a hint
I won’t be ashamed I’m trying to change you
Or that I’m manipulating the evidence

Step right up and get ready for the show
Watch me turn the dullest penny into gold
Curious it’s a wonder to behold
I can even make myself believe you love me
When you don’t
When you don’t
