Wine from the Water
Illusions Unveiled: Alan Parsons' Magical Tale in 'Wine from the Water'
Lyrics
You can take me up, you can wind me down
You can control me or let me go, but I won't succumb to drowning
There's no escape, but I'll never drown
Despite the lack of an apparent escape, I won't be defeated
No wires or strings, No rough and smooth
There are no visible connections or obstacles, only intense experiences
Just fires and stings, Watch me closely, Watch my every move
Life is full of challenges and pain, observe me closely and witness my actions
I can count your money while I check your hand
I can multitask, managing your wealth while assessing your character
And you know I just can't lose
Confidence in never losing
Wine from the water, Gold from a tree
Extracting valuable things from seemingly impossible sources
I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve
Assurance of honesty, nothing hidden or deceptive
Look for a mirror, There's nothing there
Reflect on reality, there's nothing illusionary
I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air
Creating wealth or success seemingly out of thin air
I can break these chains, While I'm upside down
Breaking free from constraints, defying gravity
Well it may seem strange, I don't hit the ground
Unconventional behavior that may seem odd
Now you see my hand, Is quicker than your eye
My actions are quicker and more cunning than they appear
You should know by now, What you see here, all of it's a lie
Recognition that everything presented is deceptive
I can count your money while I check your hand
Continued skill in managing finances and situations
And you know I just can't lose
Confident in never experiencing loss
Wine from the water, Gold from a tree
Deriving valuable things from unexpected places
I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve
Reiteration of honesty and transparency
Think of a number, I'll get it right
Claiming the ability to accurately guess a number
Throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight
A challenge to overcome obstacles, even when restrained
I can wind you up, I can turn you round
Having control over others, with a commitment to decency
No cunning stunts, till the lady's found
Avoiding cheap tricks until a suitable partner is found
No coils or springs, just nice and smooth
Smooth and effortless maneuvers without hidden motives
No Knaves or Kings, Find the lady, Watch my every move
No deception or manipulation, focus on finding the truth
I can count your money while I check your hand
Proficiency in managing finances and situations persists
And you know I just can't lose
Reiteration of confidence in never losing
Wine from the water, Gold from a tree
Obtaining valuable things from unlikely sources
I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve
Reassurance of honesty and openness
Look for a mirror, No, nothing there
Reflecting on oneself, finding no illusions
I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air
Continued creation of success seemingly out of thin air
Wine from the water, Gold from a tree
Consistency in deriving value from unexpected places
Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve
Reiteration of honesty and lack of deception
Think of a number, I'll get it right
Claiming the ability to accurately guess a number again
You can throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight
A willingness to face challenges and restrictions
Wine from the water, Gold from a tree
Continued ability to derive value from unlikely sources
Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve
Reassurance of honesty and transparency
Look for a mirror, There's nothing there
Reflecting on oneself, finding no illusions again
I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air
Continued creation of success seemingly out of thin air
