Bunsen Burner (It's Not a mix, It's a Compound) Songtext
von John Otway

I′m an Alchemist baby
I can turn heavy metal ... into gold
I can make unstable compounds of mercury explode

I can make you glow
I can make you phosphoresce
I can burst your bubble
I can make you effervesce

Science tells you love
Is just a chemical reaction in the brain
Let me be your bunsen burner baby
Let me be your naked flame


You're going to turn bright red
When I do my litmus test on you
Acid it was, acid it is
And what acid was true

Check out what′s in the test tube baby
You're my little pipette
The favourite piece of apparatus
In my chemistry set

Science tells you love
Is just a chemical reaction in the brain
Let me be your bunsen burner baby
Let me be your naked flame

You're the kind of carbon I can date
You′re the element that makes me passionate
There′s a chemistry experiment
I want to try in my brain
So come close to the Bunsen Burner
Feel the Heat of the naked flame
