The Midnight performed “Neon Medusa” live for the first time as part of their online event ‘The Midnight: Online’ on October 30, 2020. The live performance was publicly released on March 16, 2021 ahead of the wide release of the Horror Show EP.
[Verse 1]
Don't fall in love with the man on stage
I'll be on in a minute, I'm just sharpening my blade
Don't fall for his flattering tune
He'll promise you the world until you drink that perfume
[Chorus]
It's a highway, highway to the dark
And a neon Medusa's got your heart
Sweet canyon lullabies
Don't look straight into its eyes
It's a highway, highway to the dark
[Verse 2]
There's only two ways to make it in this town
One is to be brilliant, the other is to drown
Don't take both drugs all in one go
Can't reach the heavens passed out on the floor
[Chorus]
It's a highway, highway to the dark
And a neon Medusa's got your heart
Sweet canyon lullabies
Don't look straight into its еyes
It's a highway, highway to the dark
[Bridge]
If your mama could see you now
If your mama could see you now
Topless and upsidе down
The room spinning around
If your mama could see you now
With the party lines coming out
Are you lost or are you found?
Are there too many mirrors in this house?
[Outro]
Don't fall in love with the man on stage
I'll be on in a minute, then sweep you away
Don't fall for the monsters in this maze
But I could love you forever if you'd meet my gaze
