Faust, Midas, and Myself
Lyricist:Jonathan Foreman
This one's about a dream I had last night How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile
Something in his eyes Something in his laugh Something in his voice That made my skin crawl off
IHe said, ‽I've seen you here before I know your name How you could have your pick? Of pretty thingsâ€
You could have it all Everything at once Everything you've seen Everything you'll need Everything you've ever had in fantasies
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
I woke up from my dream As a golden man With the girl I've never seen With golden skin I jump up to my feet And she asked me what was wrong
I began to scream I don't think this is me Is this just a dream Or really happening?
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
What direction? What direction? I'm spinning up Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm spinning up This is my personal disaffection
What direction? What direction? What direction now?
I looked outside the glass At golden shores Of golden ships and masts With golden cords
As my reflection passed I hated what I saw The golden eyes were dead And a thought passed through my head A heart that's made of gold Can't really beat at all
I wanted to wake up again I wanted to wake up again Without a touch of gold Without a touch of gold
What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? Life begins at the intersection
What direction? What direction? What direction now?
I woke up as before But the gold was gone My wife was at the door With a night robe on
My heart beat once or twice And life flooded my veins Everything had changed My lungs had found their voice And what was once routine Was now the perfect joy
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead
