All the Pretty Bottles

All the pretty bottles, lined up on a shelf.
Which one will you choose?
A potion for love?
A potion for courage?
A potion to escape death?
All the pretty bottles, lined up on a shelf.
Which one will you choose?

All the pretty bottles, lined up on a shelf.
None of their wondrous magic is free.
Love can bring heartache.
Courage can bring death.
Immortality can bring loneliness. 
All the pretty bottles, lined up on a shelf.
None of their wondrous magic is free.
