Lyrics for Temporary Like Achilles by Bob Dylan
Songwriters: Dylan, Bob
He's pointing to the sky and hes hungry like a man in drag
Achilles is in your alleyway, he don't want me here, he does brag
Well, I run into your hallway, lean against your velvet door
You know I want your lovin', honey, why are you so hard?
How come you get someone like him to be your guard?
How come you send someone out to have me barred?
Kneeling 'neath your ceiling, yes I guess I'll be here for a while
You know I want your lovin', honey, but you're so hard
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime
Like a poor fool in his prime
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Yes, I know you can hear me walk
Or is it just solid rock?
I'm tryin' to read your portrait, but I'm helpless, like a rich mans child
You know I want your lovin', honey, why are you so hard?
I watch upon your scorpion who crawls across your circus floor
How come you don't send me no regards?
