(I see)
I see it happening again and again
We're young and heartless in our way, you just never say it
But dear, this crutch of old age is not enough
I won't lie, if it's all what you want and nothing more
I won't crush your lonely days
But you sleep on a subway car when the day is dark
Long enough to wonder
So let's turn nickel into stone
And alchemize ourselves into something else
It's all a game we play; you just never say it
Taking sides, that's not right
Telling lies, telling lies
But I know that, I know that

"Let's... alchemize our selves into something else" is brilliant.
