about
Poor King Midas has turned everything around him into gold - including his beloved daughter. Ruffus, as the king, renounces his greed for gold if only he can get his daughter back.
lyrics
Everything's turning out gold,
Not quite the way I foretold.
So it seems that all along
I had it wrong.
I thought you're worth what you own
But it's my heart that's become precious stone.
Woe by me a fortune stoled,
The whole is sum that I can't hold,
My fortune's told.
Speak to me,
Say this is not for none.
Don't say I can't undo what I've done.
Hear me out,
I wish I could take it back.
This gold has turned me blue
And I'm fading to black.
Please please please come back.
Please make light of gold,
Before everything starts to unfold.
Not quite the way I foretold.
So it seems that all along
I had it wrong.
I thought you're worth what you own
But it's my heart that's become precious stone.
Woe by me a fortune stoled,
The whole is sum that I can't hold,
My fortune's told.
Speak to me,
Say this is not for none.
Don't say I can't undo what I've done.
Hear me out,
I wish I could take it back.
This gold has turned me blue
And I'm fading to black.
Please please please come back.
Please make light of gold,
Before everything starts to unfold.
