In 1985 an early version this song was called “Mesmerized” and was recorded for the The Peel Sessions.

Maybe the song’s name was changed because almost at the end of the song in the album version the word Medusa is repeated a few times.
[Verse 1]
Finally
I have seen the lights in your eyes
And now
I'm gloryfing my tragic destiny
Dreams can be wholesome for me
Life is a tormented dream for me
[Chorus]
Mesmerize me, enchant me
Mesmerize with your eyes, now
Enchant me, hypnotize me
Enchant me, mesmerize me
Enchant me, hypnotize me
[Verse 2]
I found the lies in your words
And now
I'm gloryfing my tragic destiny
Dreams can be hard and mean
I still wonder if you are aware of this
Dreams can be hard and mean
Life is a tormented dream, now
[Outro]
Medusa, Medusa
Medusa
Enchant me, mesmerize me
Enchant me, mesmerize me
Enchant me, hypnotize me
Enchant me, mesmerize me
