“Midas in Reverse” is about not believing in, or engaging meaningfully in, romantic love. King Midas is a mythological Greek figure, renowned for his supposed ability to turn anything into gold merely by touching it. Thus, the reverse of the “Midas touch” would be someone who takes all of the value...
[Verse 1]
It's a lie, no blushes for baby
She told me "that ain't nice"
You want a flower 'cause pleasure equals power
Don't you, Fraulein?
I want someone to face it, to take me as I am
Don't wanna lie and tell you that I am a better man
Roses, candy, engagement rings
Why must we play these games?
[Verse 2]
Don't trust me baby 'cause my heart is a stone
Don't cry your eyes out, that just makes me cold
I am powered by instinct and I won't be told
Don't touch me sugar 'cause I'll take your gold
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is nothin' much to me
Don't get your dander up
This one's rotten to the core, now come on!
[Chorus]
Midas in reverse, I want to steal it, come on
Midas, always seductin' angel, you will fall for me
Midas in reverse I want to feel it, come on
Midas always seductin' angel
Why must we play these games?
[Verse 3]
My flesh hammer's comin' down on you
I'll flunk you out of obedience school
An exterminating angel, my love is a bitch
My love gun's not a gentleman, trigger fingers itch
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is nothin' much to me
Don't get your dander up
This one's rotten to the core, now come on!
[Chorus]
Midas in reverse, I want to steal it, come on
Midas, always seductin' angel, you will fall for me
Midas in reverse I want to feel it, come on
Midas always seductin' angel
(You will fall)
