Sheila Nicholls - Medusa lyrics

rate me

Medusa woke up one day and shaved here head

well maybe no you'll let me a little closer she said

but she just sacrificed her identity instead

be careful about your trend

be careful how you tread

medusa went home again and watched TV

a commercial for deoderant, tampons, so now we won't smell see

said the sister with the plastic smile, excitement, and glee

buy your shame for free

buy your shame for free

and all the smiles that we spill

because it's part of the drill

the shame that we bare

for the floors that aren't there

the unfulfilled will be dismissed

for a savior, a kiss

the memories we repress ... when we undress

she went channel surfing

and all that was seen

were decorative women arrive on the screen

conventional images of adolecent male dreams

if men aren't around they fall apart at the seems

passive exposed

peaches and cream

survive like an object to blow off your steam

interchangeable fragments

and outlinea and shapes

they say no they mean yes to little girl rapes

and all the smiles that we spill

because it's part of the drill

the shame that we bare

for the floors that aren't there

the unfulfilled will we dismiss

for a savior, a kiss

the memories we repress ... when we undress

the rage trapped inside

smothered and dried

the words that we use

they divide and abuse

the wound between women _______

the war between women________

medusa grew here hair back

around her face

she'd been looking for alignment in the wrong place

so she called up her place

Malcom X and collie

and they go on a plane

cocked off too ...

falling
