The Midas Touch lyrics

Album: MAGIC HOTEL (2002)


The Midas touch is everywhere, everywhere
Your just not the same
When I turn you to gold
Like stories of old

The Midas touch is in me now, in me now
But how do I feel, when I`m torn in two
Between gold and you, gold and you

The boy with the Midas touch
Turning us all to gold
Only by touching us, gold by feeling us
There`s no escape from those take
The lifeblood of the people
You`ll never be a king, my friend
You`ll never be

Heaven sent, but hell bent, hell bent
You`re just a child with the strength of many
Your head`s on a penny
Lonely as sin, no riches within
No riches within
In love with the girl who works in your kitchen
You`re leaving her itching for more
But she won`t let you touch her
She won`t let you kiss her
So, she`ll never be yours

The boy with the Midas touch
Turning us all to gold
Only by touching us, gold by feeling us
There`s no escape from those take
The lifeblood of the people
You`ll never be a king, my friend
You`ll never be

The boy with the Midas touch

There`s no escape from those take
The lifeblood of the people
You`ll never be a king my friend, never be
You`ll never be king
