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 the pins  The arrows of sin  The evils of men  You need rhino skin
