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
