Poseidon

Driving round town in his fancy car
When he first saw that dress made of stars
Blond hair, red lips
Oh, how could he resist
And a tear on that face
That looked so out of place

"Get in my car," he said
"I’ll keep you safe
Oh, let me take you away
'Cause I know how it feels
To have fear on your heels
Let me in, let me make things okay

You gotta have thick skin
To get by in the city
Thick skin, to survive
Your brains and your beauty
Don’t mean nothing at all
If there’s a bullet in your side
So I’ll give you thick skin
All my love will protect you
Thick skin, made of pride
'Cause you’re the whole world as far as I am concerned
And I’m keeping you alive."

Caeneus got in, said, "You don’t understand
It’s not from a villain I run
But from living in dresses, and elegant tresses
Not being the man that I know I am."

Poseidon, he nodded
And he gave a smile
He said, "Let's see what I can do
I’ve got cash, I’ve got sway
Let’s make this go away
But first let’s go get you a suit."

You gotta have thick skin
To get by in the city
Thick skin, to survive
Your brains and your beauty
Don’t mean nothing at all
If there’s a bullet in your side
So I’ll give you thick skin
All my love will protect you
Thick skin, made of pride
'Cause you’re the whole world as far as I am concerned
And I’m keeping you alive

They drove to his tailor, a kindly old man
Said, "Ah yes, I can do what you need
Linen or wool, cashmere or silk?"
Poseidon shook his head
Then he smiled and said

"Make it out of Kevlar
A bulletproof suit
As strong and as handsome as he
So no one can harm
The man on my arm
He’s far too precious to me

You gotta have thick skin
To get by in the city
Thick skin, to survive
Your brains and your beauty
Don’t mean nothing at all
If there’s a bullet in your side
So I’ll give you thick skin
All my love will protect you
Thick skin, made of pride
'Cause you’re the whole world as far as I am concerned
And I’m keeping you alive
