Medusa

   Medusa

 

 

  When all you have left are your memories

  And diamonds and pearls for company

  I'll be sailing to St. Lucia on the ocean breeze

  With the moon and my scars for company

  

  In your bedroom you keep an iron cage

  Where a blackbird sings her freedom song

  For you know the true value of keeping slaves

  They sing the saddest of songs

  

  Medusa you robbed me of my youth

  Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude

   

  

  Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn

  You told me to undress

  Then crowned my head with thorns

  

  Medusa you robbed me of　my youth

  Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude

  Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn

  You told me to get dressed

  Then turned my heart to stone
