The trap door Waits for everyone You slip through The cracks in the ground Your love is Never in vain Your love is The sun and the rain And like the zebra stripes You're neither white on black Or black on white Like roman candles we burn so brightly Then fall from the sky We are mere mortals We, we are mere mortals Can't help but Live beyond all our means Try hard to Dream all the right dreams, yeah This conflict is useless Useless as money in the jungle You can't fight Utopia's muscle You are the food of the gods to me now I can't let go A thousand lives I would live beside you But I know We, we are mere mortals We, we are mere mortals You are the food of the gods to me now I can't let go A thousand miles I have walked beside you But now I know We are mere mortals We, we are mere mortals We, we are mere mortals
