[INTRO — distant vocal, soft guitar, filtered percussion] I saw you standing underneath the lights Didn't know you were the warning sign One little smile and I lost my way Funny how beautiful danger can look that way [VERSE 1 — intimate, conversational] You don't have to say my name I already know the game Something in the way you move Pulls me closer, breaks the rules Your eyes don't blink They just pull me in I should walk away But I wanna feel it again [PRE-CHORUS — building] One step closer Heart beats faster I know better But I want ya Tell me why I can't look away Tell me why I'm already too late [CHORUS — huge melodic lift] MEDUSA You got me frozen in the moment MEDUSA I can't move when you get closer One look One touch That's all it takes Beautiful poison Running through my veins MEDUSA MEDUSA I know you're dangerous But I love the way you make me feel [POST-CHORUS — chopped vocal] Me-du-sa Me-me-medusa Can't move Can't move When you look at me [VERSE 2 — rhythmic R&B / trap phrasing] Midnight Your shadow crossing mine Slow burn You know exactly what you're doing No words Just that look across the room My guard Falling way too soon I hear my friends say "Don't go there" But I'm already halfway Don't care You got that something I can't explain Sweet like summer Sharp like pain [PRE-CHORUS] One step closer Heart beats faster I know better But I want ya Tell me why I can't look away Tell me why I'm already too late [CHORUS — bigger] MEDUSA You got me frozen in the moment MEDUSA I can't move when you get closer One look One touch That's all it takes Beautiful poison Running through my veins MEDUSA MEDUSA I know you're dangerous But I love the way you make me feel [DROP — instrumental + chopped vocal] Look at me Look at me Look at me now Don't move Don't move Don't move MEDUSA! [BREAKDOWN — drums disappear] [whispered] Maybe I should run... [long pause] ...but where? [WTF MOMENT — single piano note, breath, reversed vocal tail] You already got me. [DROP 2 — full groove returns] MEDUSA! [AD-LIBS] Yeah Uh I know I know Don't look away No, no, no [FINAL CHORUS — emotional / euphoric] MEDUSA You got me frozen in the moment MEDUSA I can't move when you get closer One look One touch That's all it takes Beautiful poison Running through my veins MEDUSA MEDUSA I know you're dangerous But I love the way you make me feel [OUTRO — stripped back] Maybe you're the warning Maybe I'm the fool Maybe I knew the danger And walked straight into you MEDUSA... [soft laugh] ...again.
