Temporary Like Achilles
Lyrics
Standing on your window, honey Yes, I've been here before ♪ Feeling so harmless I'm looking at your second door ♪ How come you don't send me no regards? ♪ You know I want your lovin' Honey, why are you so hard? ♪ Kneeling 'neath your ceiling Yes, I guess I'll be here for a while ♪ I'm tryin' to read your portrait But I'm helpless, like a rich man's child ♪ How come you send someone out to Have me barred? ♪ You know I want your lovin' Honey, why are you so hard? ♪ Like a poor fool in his prime Yes, I know you can hear me walk But is your heart made out of stone Or is it lime Or is it just solid rock? Well, I lean into your hallway Lean against your velvet door ♪ I watch upon your scorpion Who crawls across your circus floor ♪ Just what do you think you have to guard? ♪ You know I want your lovin' Honey, but you're so hard ♪ Achilles is in your alleyway He don't want me here, he does brag ♪ He's pointing to the sky And he's hungry, like a man in drag ♪ How come you get someone like him to be your guard? ♪ You know I want your lovin' Honey, but you're so hard
