Flesh and Steel by The Call Lyrics

You left your nation and relations behind
You're on your own now
You're working in the mines
They tell you this behaviour isn't normally right
But it's gotta be better than staying out all night

[Chorus]
She walks out under the lights
Flesh and steel
They hung on every word
Every move and feel
But you an only count on love to pull you through
'Cause home just ain't a place you can go back to

A cross hides victims of the crash under spell
You were walking on the edge, girl
But you're back in your head and all's well
It far outreaches all the lives of all the dead
Oh man, you hand them your heart
And they hand you your head
[Chorus]
She walks out under the lights
Flesh and steel
They hung on every word
Every move and feel
But you can only give them what your life reveals
And trust just ain't a thing you can hold

What is this crime that I'm dealing with
I need to know
I've got this pulse that I'm reeling to
Let me know
I feel like giving up
Let the ghost go (go, go)
But part of me never would
It never would you know
(I said no, no, no)

I'm done telling lies, I ain't got anymore
And the sons keep knocking on the master's door
You've got big plans, you've seen big spaces
Well just remember that it's one man's trial
That another man faces

[Chorus]
She steps into the lights
Flesh and steel
They hung on every word
Every move and feel
But you can only give them what your life reveals
She says I don't even worry about dying
Along the way
I know where I'm going anyway
