Tom Petty - Rhino Skin lyrics

You need rhino skin if you're gonna 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're 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
