Temporary Like Achilles

Temporary Like Achilles - Bob Dylan

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 rush 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
