Midas Lyrics by Thomston

School Night EP

2014

[Verse 1]
They line up in droves
Bare their teeth, put on a show
You're cashing on their dreams
Your checkbook sights their hopes

[Verse 2]
They'll bleed if you ask
Stop breathing it's the same
You're playing with your food
Reeling in your pray

[Chorus]
And it all turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
They're sold, sold, sold
Everything they have close and tied
Throwing away in the heat of the stage lights

[Verse 3]
They're buying for your time
Pressing you to hear
Take advantage of the desperation
Say come back in a year

[Verse 4]
They put their lives on hold
Finding every day
So that they may return
Only to be turned away

[Chorus]
And it all turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
They're sold, sold, sold
Everything they have close and tied
Throwing away in the heat of the stage lights

[Bridge]
And I get that it's quite enticing
The lights of the stage are so inviting
But the lights are packed in, the season's over

And they lost all their credibility
And now they have find their new feet
Kicking themselves for trying, trying to compete

[Chorus]
And it all turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
They're sold, sold, sold
Everything they have close and tied
Throwing away in the heat of the stage lights
