ORDINARY WORLD (Duran Duran)

     Came in from a rainy Tuesday night 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's happening to it all?
     "Crazy!" some say
     Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away

     (Chorus)
     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 stay
     Pride will tear us both apart
     Well, now pride's gone out the window
     Crossed the rooftops, run away
     Left me in the vacuum of my heart
     What is happening to me?
     "Crazy!" some may say
     Where is my friend when I need you most?
     Gone away

     (Repeat Chorus)

     Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
     hey he-he-he-he-he-he-hey oh oh

     Papers in the roadside
     Tell of suffering and greed
     Fear today, forgot tomorrow
     ooh ooh, here, beside the news
     Of holy war and holy need
     Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

     Just blowing away

     And I don'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
     It's a world, every world...
