Hercules

Lost out at night

My throat is dry

My eyes are sealing shut

Just picked up a fight

Now there's a girl out front

She's looking quite alright

She says: "Hey

Hercules

Take some labor

Off your aching back

And come and lay with me tonight"

So she lays with me and talks to me

She finds her way up to my ear

She says she's safe wrapped 'round my two strong arms

So she's heading in, she's really near

It's starting to get very clear

Her hand is going downwards too far south

And I say: "No, no, no

Oh, miss, no, please

I do not wish for to be pleased

I'm on a quest and I don't think I have the time"

So I take my shield, she's pouring tears

I left a deal that's almost sealed

Now I'm walking, thinking: "That went quite alright"

It's hard to be Hercules

They say the stories all lie

"He hasn't slain no beast

Bet he cannot even fight"

See I've sinned many times

Still I get the chills when I'm asked to spend the night

When they say

"Hercules

Take some labor

Off your aching back

And come and lay with me tonight"

So she lays with me and talks to me

She finds her way up to my ear

She says she's safe wrapped 'round my two strong arms

So she's heading in, she's really near

It's starting to get very clear

Her hand is going downwards too far south

And I say: "No, no, no

Oh, miss, no, please

I do not wish for to be pleased

I'm on a quest and I don't think I have the time"

So I take my shield, she's pouring tears

I left a deal that's almost sealed

Now I'm walking, thinking: "That went quite alright"

So she lays with me and talks to me

She finds her way up to my ear

She says she's safe wrapped 'round my two strong arms

So she's heading in, she's really near

It's starting to get very clear

Her hand is going downwards too far south

And I say: "No, no, no

Oh, miss, no, please

I do not wish for to be pleased

I'm on a quest and I don't think I have the time"

So I take my shield, she's pouring tears

I left a deal that's almost sealed

Now I'm walking, thinking: "That went quite alright"
