(Browne/Maitland) Midas was sitting alone on the brink It was only his time he was wasting Holding a photograph framed with silver He just couldn't turn
There was a king with magic hands There was a crown and a touch of gold The crown was up in the game of chance Welcome king midas King midas oh the secret
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
Welcome to the brave new world with apex civilisation Reality has no world order make-believe has the truth Silent shadows corrupts life destined for
You got your ticket and your hotel keys And your overnight bag at your feet You're looking down on the tropical trees While the Spanish maids pick up
This one?s about a dream I had last night How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile Something
It's a lie no blushin' for baby She told me that ain't nice You want a flower 'cause pleasure equals power Don't you, Fraulein? I want someone to face
If you could only see me I know exactly where I am You wouldn't want to be me Oh, I can assure you that I'm not the guy to run with 'Cos I'll blow you
Say shit Midas This world's looking funny to you World's looking funny to you Shit Midas Everything you touch Everything you touch Is turning to as much
If you could only see me I know exactly where I am You wouldn't want to be me Oh, I can assure you of that I'm not the guy to run with Because I'll throw
Riding the night on his solid gold steed Ready to battle and answer his need Computerized man, a digital clone Thing from the past, his origin unknown
Everybody helps me make my own mistakes If I'm left alone I'd make them anyway Great events but can't predict what's happening in present tense No reference
Gold, said the man to the many I want money and I'll make it grow I will count my worth in gold Wealth untold, I'll sell my soul Midas Man Midas Man
See the man in the bookshop See his withered hand He walks very slowly Never stands in crowds Children stand in wonder As he turns and walks away Closely
The Midas touch, touch, touch, touch You say you?re going through changes Every day it seems your life is up and down And you say that you?re lookin?
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
Creeping out into the night Keep your hands outstretched and your eyes closed tightly Running out on your own Don't answer the door or the telephone This
If you could only see me And know exactly who I am You wouldn't want to be me Oh I can assure you of that I'm not the guy to run with 'Cos I'll throw
