Temporary Like Achilles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] Kneeling 'neath your ceiling, yes, I guess I'll be here for a while I'm trying to read your poetry, 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 you so hard? [Bridge] 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? [Verse 3] 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 [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] 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
