lyrics

I'm in love
With the prospect of prospects
They say that's dangerous
Danger and I are old companions
With its hand in my heart
That's a hell of a start
Wouldn't wanna miss out on all the best parts

Wanna take you out to dance
Try my hand at romance
But I've always been more of a businessman
Took a seat at the head of the business end
Making deals with the devil,
That's money well spent

My my my Midas touch
I, I am not a God
Not a king
But everything I touch turns to gold
Never claimed to be good
But I, I really tried
What a lie
Still, everything I touch turns to gold

I don't feel regret
Just feelings I was destined to have met
I don't make mistakes
Just things that give not take
I never lose
Just refining my next move
And I'm in love with the things that I will prove

Wanna take you out to dance
Try my hand at romance
But I've always been more of a businessman
Took a seat at the head of the business end
Making deals with the devil,
That's money well spent

My my my Midas touch
I, I, I am a God
And a king
And everything I touch turns to gold
You will remember me
My immortality
Feel the rush
Everything I touch turns to gold

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But I've gladly lost sight of what you say to be right
See me now,
Here in the dead of night
To what does not survive,
What kills you builds character

Got a double bed
I'm moving up in the world
Got a learner's license
Good head on my shoulders
Got a pair of new boots
And a tidy room
Served sunny side up with a side of doom

Work my fingers to the bone
To make something worth showing
Got my hands full of sand
And the wind keeps blowing
Always two steps ahead
But we're running to catch up
The rules are rigged
But we're on the come up

There is something in my gut that is eating me alive
Gotta keep on moving if I want to survive
I can tell you right now,
I am not giving in
I am not willing to be found incapable of anything

Here I stand,
A daughter of a daughter
And the hands of time
Hold tightly to mine
Here I stand,
On the edge of forever
If my words don't survive
Please know that I tried
