Chorus:Those ain't braids, they're snakesHail MedusaAnother fool just got too close to yaKeep strummin' the painAnother victim bows,Hail MedusaGotta forget them vows he wrote to yaBoth eyes burn holes in the skyAnd his sould is alive, but he's frozen insideVerse 1:Anathema, I think Athena had it out for ya'How could recalcitrance oust the gritty valuablesA pretty mouthful of pity so palpableThe giddy little prince rents out his given castleYou married him yet? That marionette? Buried in debt, nary a breath to carry to restYa sharing a bed? Care for the guest?Or care for the rest of everything kept keep in the daredevil's chestIt's inconceivable to even believe in an evilEven when the evil will leave you relling from breathing etherNo speech And I don't even think he's breathing eitherNo peaceAnd so please leave me to be beleagueredSongtexteAnd when you leave put your shades back onWhy'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 imperviousGone too soon and all for youResident guy measured his life in coffee spoonsGone too soon and all for youMr. Proofrock who shot you?Verse 2:I wish you didn't exist, I liked it better when I was a kid, dismissed it as a mythAnd just a little bit of aristic yard spinning and arsenic laced fiction for hard cynicsso much lipstick to cover the curseAnd then of course wigs work so you cover the serpentsDark shades and it's working perfectThe surface of hell under perfect circlesYou never take 'em off and they never ask whyYou tell 'em it's a black eye...right?Invite him in to the lion's den, lie to himHigh suspense, a shut the door behind himBut he soon found out the cruel truthJust one more fool you rule in your roomAnother barely alive man sharingAn eight-mile stare in a stone cemeteryBridge:Head bowed, pray to the queen, you know the siren's song is so sweetYou never notice that she sings off key till you're under the sea sunk hundreds of leaguesHead bowed, pray to the queen, you know the siren's song is so sweetYou never notice that she sings off key till you're under the sea sunk hundreds of leagues Aus Songtexte Mania
