Lyrics
Mr. Midas
One touch will turn your world to gold
Mr. Midas
Whole city under his control
His name was Mr. Midas
Pushing snow white sex appeal
His name was Mr. Midas
With the golden touch that kills
Even a kingpin
He'll make time for love
He was a bad man
But had a soft spot for love, love, love
Full of broken melodies
He couldn't hum them loud enough, enough, enough
Enough to keep the trouble away
Know his enemies were never far
Moving weight from coast to coast
Leaving nothing in his wake but gold
His name was Mr. Midas
One touch will turn your world to gold
His name was Mr. Midas
Whole city under his control
His name was Mr. Midas
Pushing snow white sex appeal
His name was Mr. Midas
With the golden touch that kills
Take the industry out of the city
Put drugs in it's place
Then a man like this rises all over the place
He is pushing his own form of relief
Got the whole community strung out
He never raised his voice truth be told, told, told
But he had a way with words every politician sold, sold, sold
Moving drugs up the blocks, fixing up boarded houses for fun
Every body under his spell of pure corruption
Oh, his name was Mr. Midas
One touch will turn your world to gold
Yeah, his name was Mr. Midas
Whole city under his control
His name was Mr. Midas
Pushing snow white sex appeal
His name was Mr. Midas
With the golden touch that kills
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
