Perseus holds the head of Medusa
s
Oh, what I would give to be her
s
My hands cannot hold steady
s
When you reach out to me
s
Jamie boy, oh, if you could tell
s
Would you ever be taken as I am?
s
That I looked to you every night
s
You did not seem to notice
s
God had made your sweetheart wrong
s
Born to suffer, born only to die
s
A dog will rut its way into harm
s
When one lets off the leash
s
To reveal what I once was
s
Just for once, just for once
s
In this, she is not unique
s
To have lied to a lover
s
If for want of a pure touch
s
To be common, to be seen as I am
s
Salute your rage, a hammer
s
Beat upon me, crumble me as powder
s
Wipe me off of your uniform
s
It’s the same blood that you loved
s
I don’t think that you are a fool
s
But you cannot deny me as a woman
s
Oh, ensign, I was your woman
s
