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 eight fifteen

Another one at ten

Should I climb aboard, risk everything

And ride it to the end?

Watch the hills 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

Inside this empty dive.

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.
