<b>Magic Vs. Midas</b> by <i>Sunset Rubdown</i><br />Would you say that you wish you were worse than

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 woman, with the gold that you keep

Or which keeps you in your place,

Do you recall that it's just green and copper taste?

Oh, do you love to dance

With a hang like some hula dress so lighting off your noose?

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

When the tricksters speak-sing trickery,

"Is your life the work of the Midas touch?"

"Do you close your eyes when dancing,

The same wayyou close your eyes in your lover's clutches?"

How dare I speak of trickery,

I am not the store of Midas' touch

I don't close my eyes when 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

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And you made me familiar to you in the dark,

When you said that you wish you were worse than you are

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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
