Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you What has happened to it all? Crazy, some'd say Where is the life that I recognise? (Gone away) But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say "Pride will tear us both apart" Well, now pride's gone out the window Cross the rooftops, run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart What is happening to me? Crazy, some'd say Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away) But I won't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ahh-ah-ahh Away-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay Oh, oh Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh-ooh Here besides the news of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk And I don't cry for yesterday There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive (Every world is my world) I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) I will learn to survive (Any world is my world) (Every world is my world)
