The Man Of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts

Trouble falls in my home Troubled man, troubled stone Turn a mountain of lies Turn a card for my life Man of steel, man of heart Tame our ways, if we start To devise something more Something half ways Only a steel man came to recover If he had run from gold, carry over We celebrate our sense of each other We have a lot to give one another I took a bus to the lake Saw the monument face Yellow tides, golden eyes Red and white, red and wise Raise the flag, summer home Parted hair and part unknown If I knew what I read I'll send it half ways Only a real man can be a lover If he had hands to lend us all over We celebrate our sense on each other We have a lot to give one another Took my bags, Illinois Dreamt the lake took my boy Man of steel, man of heart Turn your ear to my part There are things you have said Raise the boat and raise the dead If you take us away Still can we say Only a steel man can be a lover If he had hands to tremble all over We celebrate our sense of each other We have a lot to give one another Only a steel man can be a lover If he had hands to tremble all over We celebrate our sense of each other We have a lot to give one another
