Tim Palmer - Faust, Midas and Myself lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 He said, "I've seen you here before I know your name Yeah, you could have your pick of pretty things You could have it all, everything at once Everything you've seen Everything you'll need Everything you've ever had in fantasies" [Chorus] You've one life, you've one life You've one life left to leave You've one life, you've one life You've one life left to leave [Verse 2] I woke up from my dream as a golden man With a girl I've never seen with golden skin I jumped up to my feet, and she asked me what was wrong And I began to scream, "I don't think this is me Is this just a dream or really happening?" [Chorus] You've one life, you've one life You've one life left to leave [Refrain] What direction, what direction? What direction, what direction? I'm splitting up, I'm splitting up This is my personal disaffection What direction, what direction? What direction now? [Verse 3] I looked outside the gla** at golden shores Golden ships and masts with golden cords As my reflection pa**ed, I hated what I saw My golden eyes were dead And a thought pa**ed 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 [Refrain] What direction, what direction? What direction? d**h or action Life begins at the intersection What direction, what direction? What direction now? [Verse 4] I woke up as before, but the gold was gone My wife was at the door with her 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 [Chorus] 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
