Lyrics

MEDUSA’S WILD (THE SNAKE EYES SONG) 
 
I’ve been climbing this mountain since we first met; 
And I’m still countin’ every rock of regret. 
I could keep scaling or call for a retreat; 
Either way I’m failing, falling at your feet. 
 
‘Cause everybody knows you’re the hurtin’ kind, 
Everybody knows I’m the next in line. 
But what can I do to slow the pain? 
One look at you, and here I go again. 
 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Come on over here, shake your pretty hair free. 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Let me see how charming a snake can be. 
 
Somewhere in the valley, there is peace tonight; 
Down in the alley, they use keys to fight. 
To unlock my heart and be free from you, 
I’d have to start by blocking the view. 
 
Somewhere in this world, the sun shines bright, 
But everywhere I’m hurled, people curse the light. 
I could pray to Heaven to escape my fate, 
But one look from you, and I know it’s too late. 
 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Come on over here, shake your pretty hair free. 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Let me see how charming a snake can be. 
 
Somewhere the sun is shining bright, 
And people they still curse the light. 
Suits of skin, shades of flesh and bone, 
Beating hearts made of stone. 
 
Shaking loose from this snare of shadows; 
Take the noose there on the gallows. 
I look to the Lord to escape my fate; 
One look toward you, and I know it’s too late. 
 
I could find an ocean between me and you; 
My blind devotion would see me through. 
I’ve seen too many dance upon the water, 
Seen too many lambs taken to the slaughter. 
 
‘Cause everybody knows you’re the hurtin’ kind, 
Everybody knows I’m the next in line. 
But what can I do to slow the pain? 
One look at you, and here I go again. 
 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Come on over here, shake your pretty hair free. 
Medusa, Medusa, let loose a smile for me. 
Let me see how charming a snake can be.
