[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Red light on, just outside the door
Indicating to the world, keep out for sure
Reels of cellulose to be exposed
Images unlocked by chemical flows (chemical flows)

[quick synth bridge solo]

[Chorus]
Dip and dunk, dip and dunk!
C-41 that pungent funk!
Acrid burn inside my nose
Making sure that door is closed
Chemical caress, a pungent kiss
This is where the magic lives!

[Verse 2]
Thirty-seven degrees, the thermometer calls
Fumes rising up and off the walls
C-41 waftin' through the air
Stinging eyes, but I don't care
Blasting tunes, while agitating
Each strip a story, anticipatin'


[Chorus]
Dip and dunk, dip and dunk
C-41 that pungent funk
Acrid burn inside my nose
Making sure that door is closed
Chemical caress, a pungent kiss
This is where the magic lives

[Solo]

[Bridge]
The smell of progress, the smell of time
Molecules dancing, perfectly aligned
What was hidden now appears
Negatives blooming, banishing fears
Every single capture a sacred rite
Turn Chemicals to negatives tonight

[Verse 3]
Agitate gently, thirty seconds to go
The aroma thickens, lost in the flow
From the developer to the bleach so bright
First they're dark, then they're light
Color chemistry, a potent brew
In the darkroom, I find myself anew

[Final Chorus]
(Classic final chorus with tape echo)
Dip and dunk, dip and dunk
C-41 that pungent funk
Acrid burn inside my nose
Making sure that door is closed
Chemical caress, a pungent kiss
This is darkroom alchemy (alchemy!)
This is where the magic lives (the magic lives!
