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 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, ran away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some 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 tale of suffering and greed
Fear today... forgot tomorrow
Uuh, yeah besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
But 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)
