| The Midas Touch | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| You shimmer in the sun Like a diamond disguise you'd wear And you don't care that I'm not the one The one you intend to deceive How much did you pay? What tangled web'd you weave? A deal with the devil for the power of gold The Midas Touch at the cost of your soul Chorus: When everything you touch turns to gold All the men in the world will crave you more But I'm not deceived cause of what I know I've sold my soul to the devil before And gone are the days When all we wanted were simple ways Since when was life about shiny things? Since when was gold what made a king? But you're in love with alchemy And the misery it brings might make you think But once you've lost yourself The blink of an eye can't get you back And once you're inside the black blindfold Turning the ones you love into gold It's only then you'll know You've sold your soul for nothing Chorus: When everything you touch turns to gold All the men in the world will crave you more But I'm not deceived cause of what I know I've sold my soul to the devil before So how can I resist you now? I know you're valuable But I don't believe in fancy dreams Or schemes to create a golden world I don't believe in golden girls Specially ones without souls Chorus: When everything you touch turns to gold All the men in the world will crave you more But I'm not deceived cause of what I know I've sold my soul to the devil before Cause I don't want anymore I've sold my soul to the devil before And I don't want you as a piece of gold I want a rock - with a soul |
