MORTAL MAN

So this is it, moment of truth
Love gone cold, in a late night phone booth
Old engines die, life keeps going
Ice is melting, water is flowing
I ain't got no money, equipped without a plan
Baby, it's just me calling, your mortal man

Baby, the ice is melting, rain is falling
Pick up the phone, it's me calling
I'm no man of steel, to save the night
Just a mortal man, trying to make it alright

Never leaped a tall building in a single bound 
Just hung round the streets...
The streets where cheap deals could be found
Took that locomotive, ran her clear off the tracks
Just a man who never quite mastered the towel rack

Now, I wrote a letter, been tryin to call
I read all the dating books and the how to's, read them all
The speeding bullet is still in the gun
Tell me honey, should I fight or should I run?

Baby, the ice is melting, rain is falling
Pick up the phone, it's me calling
I'm no man of steel, to save the night
Just scared boy, been tryin to make things right

Sincerely, your mortal man
