The Tears Of Hercules

So it goes, history shows

Deserts must expand

Camels sail like wooden ships

Like women on the strand

There's a sand on second avenue

And the wind blows like a train

Taxis line up like a string of pearls

Around the block again

I remember everything and every window pane

Every word came back to me

Like I was Superman

But then I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

There's a bus that leaves at 8:15

Another one at 10

Should I climb aboard?

Risk everything and ride it to the end?

Watch the heels like rollercoasters

Up against the sky

And wish that you were here by me

So close that I could die

You said love wrecks everything

And none of us survive

But I got over you last night

In sadness, empty dies

But then I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

I remember everything and every window pane

Every word came back to me

Like I was Superman

'Til I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

Through the tears of Hercules
