The trapdoor 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.
(Dream all the right dreams)
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.
(Your love is the sun and the rain).
We are mere mortals.
(Your love is never in vain).
(Your love is [?])
We are mere mortals.
([?])
We, we are mere mortals.
