Magic vs. Midas - Sunset Rubdown, Spencer Krug

Would you say that you wish you were worse?

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 your place

Do you recoil from it’s jealous green and copper taste?

Oh, do you like 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

The tricksters 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

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
