"Ordinary World"
The Wedding Album / Greatest
Written 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 is happening 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 coinsidence once prompted me 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 it all?
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 gread
Feared today gone tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Blown away
Just blowing 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
Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
Every world is my world
