Magic Vs. Midas - Intellectual

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 place

Do you recoil from its jealous green and copper taste?

Oh, do you love 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

But the sister 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

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
