The Midas Touch Songtext
von Toploader

The Midas Touch is everywhere, everywhere
You′re 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, only by feeling us
There′s no escape for those that take the life blood of the people
You'll never be a king, my friend, I'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 cannon
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, only by feeling us
There's no escape for those that take the life blood of the people
You′ll never be a king, my friend, I'll never be, never be
The boy with the Midas Touch
The boy with the Midas Touch
The boy with the Midas Touch
The boy with the Midas Touch
No escape for those that take the life blood of the people
You'll never be a king, my friend, I′ll never be
You′ll never be a king, yeah
I'll never be
I′ll never be a king, yeah
I'll never be
I′ll never be
