RED LYRICS - Ordinary World

"Ordinary World"



[Duran Duran cover]



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

but still I can't escape the ghost of you



What is happening to me crazy some would say

Where is the life that I recognize, gone away



And 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 will 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 grief

Fear today forgot tomorrow beside the news of holy war and holy need

Our's is just a little sorrowed talk, just blown away



And 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

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 our world, every world
