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
Taxi's line-up like a strand of pearls around the block again
I remembered everything every windowpane
Every word came back to me the way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
There's a bus that leaves at eight fifteen and another one at ten
Should I climb aboardrisk everything-and ride it to the end?
Watch the hill like roller coasters up into the sky
And wish that you were here by me so close that I could die
You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night and I am still alive
'Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night and I am still alive
'Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
