Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When all you have left are your memories
And diamonds and pearls for company
I'll be sailing to Saint Lucia on the ocean breeze
With the moon and my scars for company
[Verse 2]
In your bedroom you keep an iron cage
Where a blackbird sings her freedom song
For you know the true value of having slaves
They sing the saddest of songs
[Chorus]
Medusa, you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to undress, then crowned my head with thorns
[Instrumental]
Medusa, you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to get dressed then turned my heart to stone
