Taking pills in the green room
My neighbor back home got me too'd
And I'm ready for something new
Sucking down one more lozenge
World war II in progress
And I could really use someone like you

And isn't it cruel?
Yeah isn't it cruel how we do?

Make a truce with myself and call me
Midas in reverse ‘cause everything I touch
Turns eventually to dirt
I'll make a truce with myself
And I don't reckon that I'm cursed
But everything I touch turns eventually to dirt, yeah

King Midas in reverse
King Midas in reverse
Cause everything I touch

I could be your reflection
I'm a whore for affection
Hope you don't mind I sleep too late
She's a Ukrainian model
Moved to L. A. in high school
Flyin' to Japan on Christmas break

And isn't it cruel?
Yeah isn't it cruel how we do?

Make a truce with myself and call me
Midas in reverse ‘cause everything I touch
Turns eventually to dirt
I'll make a truce with myself
And I don't reckon that I'm cursed
But everything I touch turns eventually to dirt, yeah

King Midas in reverse
King Midas in reverse
Cause everything I touch

Everything I touch turns eventually to dirt
Everything I touch turns eventually to dirt, oh
Everything I touch turns eventually to dirt
Everything I touch turns eventually to dirt, oh
