Medusa Tattoo

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
