Ordinary World Lyrics 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

    pre
    what has happened to it all
    crazy some’d 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 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

    pre
    what is happening to me
    crazy some’d 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 greed
    fear today forgot tomorrow
    ooh here beside the news
    of holy war and holy need
    ours is just a little sorrowed talk

    just blown 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
    is my world
