I've been dreaming of Medusa in a wedding gown
And the people that she hurt must have got what they deserved
And I'm sleeping in my car until I make the rounds
I've driven 7,000 miles yet I'm still stuck in the same place
And I've been trading songs for smiles but even those get hard to face
And with my destiny on trial, it's not hard to be afraid
That the second I slow down I'll turn to stone

So cut the head from the serpent and stretch out its tongue
Kiss the words that are written but don't believe a single one
You've been leaning on my love, I've been dreaming of Medusa
And now every night in my sleep I turn to stone

I've been sorting through my memory with a looking glass
And for each drop I remember, there's an ocean I've forgotten
I'm not sure I was the same man when you saw me last
It seems a lifetime ain't enough time
To place the seal on every letter
And tomorrow's always far enough away to blame the weather
We're just a stone's throw from eternity
You think I would know better
Than to let a day slip by without its neck under my foot

So cut the head from the serpent and stretch out its tongue
Kiss the words that are written but don't believe a single one
You've been leaning on my love, I've been dreaming of Medusa
And now every night in my sleep I turn to stone
And now every night in my sleep I turn to stone
And now every night in my sleep I turn to stone
