Midas

I was born beneath a bad sign
And no matter how I try 
I’m gonna be a bad man 
Until the day I die 
My nightmares seem to haunt me
They follow me around
I try my best to help, and I
Get beaten to the ground
When I think I’m on the up 
I’m just preparing for a fall
If it wasn’t for the bad luck
I would have no luck at all
Seems like all my good intentions
Turn and kick me in the crotch
Might as well confess, I’ve got
The anti Midas touch
