Ordinary World Lyrics

[00:15.37] Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
[00:22.21] Thought I heard you talking softly
[00:29.05] I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
[00:36.05] Still I can't escape the ghost of you
[00:43.05] What has happened to it all?
[00:46.07] Crazy, some'd say
[00:49.87] Where is the life that I recognise? (Gone away)
[00:57.35] But I won't cry for yesterday
[01:00.78] There's an ordinary world
[01:04.07] Somehow I have to find
[01:11.08] And as I try to make my way
[01:14.84] To the ordinary world
[01:17.73] I will learn to survive
[01:30.88] Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
[01:37.46] "Pride will tear us both apart"
[01:44.43] Well, now pride's gone out the window
[01:47.47] Cross the rooftops, run away
[01:51.42] Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[01:57.87] What is happening to me?
[02:01.11] Crazy, some'd say
[02:04.78] Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away)
[02:12.83] But I won't cry for yesterday
[02:15.86] There's an ordinary world
[02:19.56] Somehow I have to find
[02:25.21] And as I try to make my way
[02:29.89] To the ordinary world
[02:33.13] I will learn to survive
[02:42.12] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:45.58] Ahh-ah-ahh
[02:52.83] Away-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
[02:56.54] Oh, oh
[03:06.94] Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
[03:13.24] Fear today, forgot tomorrow
[03:19.60] Ooh-ooh
[03:21.29] Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
[03:27.30] Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
[03:33.97] And I don't cry for yesterday
[03:38.67] There's an ordinary world
[03:41.94] Somehow I have to find
[03:48.24] And as I try to make my way
[03:51.94] To the ordinary world
[03:55.32] I will learn to survive
[04:01.07] (Every world is my world)
[04:10.98] I will learn to survive
[04:14.30] (Any world is my world)
[04:15.74] I will learn to survive
[04:16.51] (Any world is my world)
[04:17.57] (Every world is my world)
[04:18.16]
