Ordinary World

Ordinary World
Duran Duran, covered by Red

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue


I thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio

and still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some would say
Where is the life 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, run away

left me in the vacuum of my heart

What has happened to me?

crazy, some would 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



What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some would say

Where is the world 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



Everyone is my world

I will learn to survive

Everyone, Everyone

Somehow I have to find
