lyrics

You know that it ain’t easy being the Kraken,
Living at the bottom of the sea,
And if I rear my head I get a smackin’,
For following Poseidon’s firm decree.

Long ago my life was not so lonely,
I found a girl to fill my deep dark heart,
But though she swore I was her one and only,
She two-timed with the boss right from the start.

Hey Medusa
I can’t resist your company,
Hey Medusa
But I’m not too blind to see,
Your love’s gonna be the death of me.

Eyes overwhelming in their passion,
We’d laugh while her snakes tickled till I groaned,
Danced to the sweet sound of waves a’crashin,
And she’s the only one who ever got me stoned.

Hey Medusa
I can’t resist your company,
Hey Medusa
But I’m not too blind to see,
Your love’s gonna be the death of me.

Our final date was set up by young Perseus,
You had that old look I recognized,
Blame gods, but it’s your cheatin heart that cursed us,
I fell apart ‘cause I couldn’t face your lies.

Hey Medusa
I can’t resist your company,
Hey Medusa
But I’m not too blind to see,
Your love’s gonna be the death of me.
