Tears of Hercules

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand
There’s sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again
I remembered everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me and I was superman
But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Herculesz
There’s a bus that leaves at 8:15 and another one at ten
Should I climb aboard, risk everything, and ride it to the end?
Watch the hills like roller coasters up against the sky
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 tonight inside this empty dive
Till I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
I remembered everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me and I was superman again
Till I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
