All Hail Medusa (When A Gorgon Becomes a Siren) Lyrics by Heath McNease
The Gun Show
2010
[Intro] All Hail Medusa [Hook] Those ain't braids, they're snakes Hail Medusa Another fool just got too close to ya Keep strummin' the pain It kills soft And slither off from that pillar of rock Another victim bows Hail Medusa Gotta forget them vows he wrote to ya Both eyes burn holes in the sky And his soul is alive, but he's frozen inside [Verse 1] Anathema, I think Athena had it out for ya' How could recalcitrance oust the gritty valuables A pretty mouthful of pity so palpable The giddy little prince rents out his given castle You married him yet That marionette Buried in debt, nary a breath to carry to rest Ya sharing a bed Care for the guest Or care for the rest of everything kept Deep in the daredevil's chest It's inconceivable to even believe in an evil Even when the evil will leave you reeling from breathing ether No speech And I don't even think he's breathing either No peace And so please leave me to be beleaguered And when you leave put your shades back on Why'd you take them off? And why'd you gaze that long? This wasn't Perseus It never occurred to this guy that averting his eyes Made him impervious Gone too soon and all for you Resident guy measured his life in coffee spoons Gone too soon and all for you Mr. Prufrock who shot you? [Hook] Those ain't braids, they're snakes Hail Medusa Another fool just got too close to ya Keep strummin' the pain It kills soft And slither off from that pillar of rock Another victim bows Hail Medusa Gotta forget them vows he wrote to ya Both eyes burn holes in the sky And his soul is alive, but he's frozen inside [Verse 2] I wish you didn't exist I liked it better when I was a kid, dismissed it as a myth And just a little bit of artistic yard spinning And arsenic-laced fiction for hard cynics So much lipstick to cover the curse And then of course wigs work so you cover the serpents Dark shades and it's working perfect The surface of hell under perfect circles You never take 'em off and they never ask why You tell 'em it's a black eye, right? Invite him in to the lion's den, lie to him High suspense, a shut the door behind him But he soon found out the cruel truth Just one more fool you rule in your room Another barely alive man sharing An eight-mile stare in a stone cemetery [Hook] Those ain't braids, they're snakes Hail Medusa Another fool just got too close to ya Keep strummin' the pain It kills soft And slither off from that pillar of rock Another victim bows Hail Medusa Gotta forget them vows he wrote to ya Both eyes burn holes in the sky And his soul is alive, but he's frozen inside [Bridge] Head bowed, pray to the queen You know the siren's song is so sweet You never notice that she sings off key Till you're under the sea sunk hundreds of leagues Head bowed, pray to the queen You know the siren's song is so sweet You never notice that she sings off key Till you're hundreds of leagues sunk under the sea [Hook] Those ain't braids, they're snakes Hail Medusa Another fool just got too close to ya Keep strummin' the pain It kills soft And slither off from that pillar of rock Another victim bows Hail Medusa Gotta forget them vows he wrote to ya Both eyes burn holes in the sky And his soul is alive, but he's frozen inside
