Temporary Like Achilles

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 scorpionWho 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 skyAnd 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.
