I’m In Love With Medusa (Lyrics) by Bill Thompson
Verse one
First time I heard about her,
Came from a stranger named Perseus,
Though he said she was a raving beauty,
Her gaze was merciless.
Verse two
He said, whatever you do, don’t look her in the eyes,
Or you’ll be turned to stone.
But the tale of this woman intrigued me,
She was like no one I’d ever known.
Bridge one
So I decided to see for myself
And in her cave I went.
Wanted to check out that Gorgon girl,
Just to see what old Perseus meant.
First Chorus
I’m in love with Medusa
And she’s in love with me.
Though we’ll never see eye to eye
Never took me for granite you see.
Verse three
I was filled with excitement,
Call it a love at first unsight,
Though I begged to see her in the light of day,
She said she’d only be with me at night.
Verse four
Looking away, she beckoned me closer,
In her midst, I couldn’t resist.
From the shadows she told me to close my eyes
And on my mouth I felt her kiss.
Bridge two
Now we’re makin’ the scene together,
She loved a dark and dingy bar.
And when we dance to the music of a rock ‘n roll band
She knows how to make me rock hard.
First Chorus
I’m in love with Medusa
And she’s in love with me.
Though we’ll never see eye to eye
Never took me for granite you see.
Verse five
I can’t lie, it’s been a rocky road
Try my best not to make her mad.
Don’t wanna be a statue, that much is true,
Always pray things don’t get that bad.
Verse six
So I play with fire, stay in harm’s way
Don’t really know how this might end.
Use my timidity, avoid rigidity
And at worse, break up as friends.
Bridge Three
Now when I comb her hair of serpents
Tryin’ hard not to get bit
In her mirror I see reflected
A poisonous relationship
First Chorus
I’m in love with Medusa
And she’s in love with me.
Though we’ll never see eye to eye
Never took me for granite you see.
Second Chorus
I’m in love with Medusa
And she’s in love with me.
Try to love her and not become
A monument to stupidity.
Outro
I’m in love with Medusa
And she’s in love with me.
Repeated and fade out…
