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
