GOLD 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
