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 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 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, only 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 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 from those take The lifeblood of the people You'll never be a king my friend You'll never be You'll never be king You'll never be You'll never be king You'll never be You'll never be
