Medusa Tattoo Lyrics

She made the move on me one drunken night

Said she wanted a tattoo up on her thigh

"A Medusa head" she said

Then we found our way to bed

And in the morning I forgot to ask her why

The next few months went in and out of sight

We often laughed and talked about that night

And she got that tattoo there

The Medusa with a stare

That turned me stone-cold every time

Why did you get that tattoo?

What does it mean that's so deep to you?

And maybe I am missing it

So caught up in the midst of it

To see I lost you

To that Medusa tattoo

When I was close to cracking her disguise

She'd look at me with something in her eyes

And I thought I saw love

Now I know what it was

A trap to capture and strangle every guy

I gotta get myself away from here

But I can feel my legs have turned to stone

And though I try to shout

Not a single word comes out

And now I realize why you got it all along

Why would you get that tattoo?

Why does it mean something so deep to you?

And maybe I was missing it

So caught up in the midst of it

To see I lost you

To that Medusa tattoo

I lost you to that

Medusa tattoo

And when I look you in the eyes

I see love, oh what an unfair disguise

And my heart's under attack

Oh why would you stab me in the back

I don't know you anymore

But I realize it's just the same you from before

I needed you before I knew

The reason why you got

That Medusa tattoo

Before I knew why you got

That Medusa tattoo

Before I knew why you got

That Medusa tattoo
