Ordinary World Lyrics

[00:14.40] Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
[00:21.29] Thought I heard you talking softly
[00:28.05] I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
[00:35.28] Still I can't escape the ghost of you
[00:42.09] What has happened to it all?
[00:45.65] Crazy, some'd say
[00:48.94] Where is the life that I recognise? (Gone away)
[00:56.24] But I won't cry for yesterday
[00:59.84] There's an ordinary world
[01:03.54] Somehow I have to find
[01:09.98] And as I try to make my way
[01:13.84] To the ordinary world
[01:17.11] I will learn to survive
[01:30.17] Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
[01:36.92] "Pride will tear us both apart"
[01:42.72] Well, now pride's gone out the window
[01:46.34] Cross the rooftops, run away
[01:50.56] Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[01:57.17] What is happening to me?
[02:00.79] Crazy, some'd say
[02:04.28] Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away)
[02:11.92] But I won't cry for yesterday
[02:15.32] There's an ordinary world
[02:18.88] Somehow I have to find
[02:25.38] And as I try to make my way
[02:29.30] To the ordinary world
[02:32.60] I will learn to survive
[02:41.47] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:45.13] Ahh-ah-ahh
[02:51.26] Away-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
[02:59.92] Oh, oh
[03:06.55] Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
[03:13.25] Fear today, forgot tomorrow
[03:19.28] Ooh-ooh
[03:20.47] Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
[03:27.26] Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
[03:34.87] And I don't cry for yesterday
[03:38.36] There's an ordinary world
[03:41.72] Somehow I have to find
[03:48.51] And as I try to make my way
[03:52.15] To the ordinary world
[03:55.54] I will learn to survive
[04:00.88] (Every world is my world)
[04:09.35] I will learn to survive
[04:14.49] (Any world is my world)
[04:16.52] I will learn to survive
[04:16.79] (Any world is my world)
[04:16.83] (Every world is my world)
[04:17.08]
