The voice inside the suit came crawling down the telephone

Somewhere between a chessboard and a nursery rhyme

I heard the rattlesnake shaking in his invitation

And the whites of his knuckles on the other end of the line

Midas 

Yeah

Midas

La-la-la-la-la

Midas

Yeah

Midas

Stepped inside his office and the whole place seemed to shiver

He said, "Come here a little closer, boy, c'mon, don't be shy"

I searched to find the fracture in his tombstone facelift

And he fixed me with the coldness of the kingdom in his eyes

Midas

Yeah

Midas

La-la-la-la-la

Midas

Yeah

Midas

He said, "Come on, kid, you think we've got a deal yet?"

Threw his head back like a pelican and straightened his tie, ha-ha-ha

He's telling me that's it

You're making me kinda nervous

And with a click of his silvered fingers, I was falling through the sky

Midas

Yeah

Midas

La-la-la-la-la

Midas

Yeah

Midas
