Rhino Skin
Tom Petty
You need rhino skin
If you're going to begin
To walk through this world
You need elephant balls
If you don't want to crawl
On your hands through this world
Oh my love, if I reveal
Every secret I've concealed
How many thoughts would you steal?
How much of my pain would you feel?
You need eagles wings
To get over things
That make no sense in this world
You need rhino skin
If you're gonna pretend
You are not hurt by this world
If you listen long enough
You can hear my skin grow tough
Love is painful to the touch
Must be made of stronger stuff
You need rhino skin
To get to the end
Of the maze through this world
You need rhino skin
Or you're gonna give in
To the needles and pins
Arrows of sin
Evils of men
You need rhino skin
