Duran Duran - Ordinary World Lyrics

Duran Duran - Ordinary World Video

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 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

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

 

(Just blown away...)

 

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed

Here today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

 

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
