Ordinary World Songtext / Lyric

[Originally by Duran Duran]



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 say

Where is the life that I recognize?

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, runaway

Left me in the vacuum of my heart



What is happening to me?

Crazy some 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



Papers in the roadside

Tell of suffering and greed

Feared today forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here beside the news

Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk



(Blown away)

(Just blowing away)



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



Any world is my world

(I will learn to survive)



Every world is my world

(I will learn to survive)
