Would you say that you wish
you were worse than you are???
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 trickster speaks of trickery!!!
Is your worth the work of
the Midas touch???
Do you close your eyes
while you're dancing
the same way 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
