Magic vs. Midas |
Would you say that you wish you were worse? |
Would you say that you wish you were worse than you are? |
See, you made up a list of your luckiest stars |
And you made me familiar to you in the dark |
When you said that you wish you were worse than you are |
Hey you with the gold which you keep or which keeps you in your place |
Do you recoil from it’s jealous green and copper taste? |
Oh, do you like to dance with it hanging like some hula dress so lightly off |
your waist? |
Was it magic or Midas that touched you? |
And by magic, I mean trickery and by Midas, I mean faith |
By magic, I mean trickery and by Midas, I mean faith |
The tricksters speaks of trickery, is your worth the work of the Midas touch? |
Do you close your eyes while you’re dancing, the same you close your eyes in |
your lover’s clutches? |
How dare I speak of trickery, I am not bestowed with the Midas touch |
I don’t close my eyes while I’m dancing the same way I close my eyes in my |
lover’s clutches |
How dare I speak of trickery, when the wild things singing are pulling their |
sham? |
You can follow the lead of the jackal to see where I am |
You can follow the lead of the jackal who waits for the kill to be made by a |
mightier hand |
You made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in |
the dark |
You made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you in |
the dark |
Ba-dum ba-dum oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ba-dum |
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you |
were worse than you are |
Ba-dum ba-dum oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ba-dum |
And you made up a list of your luckiest stars, and you made me familiar to you |
in the dark |
And you made me familiar to you in the dark, when you said that you wish you |
were worse than you are |
And I follow the lead of the jackal to see where you are |
