Ordinary World - 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 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 I won't cry for yesterday (every world) There's an ordinary world (is my world) Somehow i have to find And as i try to make my way (any world) To the ordinary world (is my world) I will learn to survive

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 are saying 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 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 one Is my world Every one Is my world

My day starts up the same It looks like it might rain But I will not complain 'Cause I can see the sun I say my little prayers Running down the stairs The streets are going nowhere But I don't care 'Cause this day is beautiful Nothing's gonna get me down It's no ordinary world When you're here with me I take the time to smile I have the space to breathe It's no ordinary world When you walk with me I see inside my dreams Every diamond, every pearl It's no ordinary world No ordinary world Everybody's got a dream Every thought and every scheme And all the spaces in between To see the clouds I won't give it too much time To get inside my mind 'Cause all that really matters Is here and now When you're laying close to me You're all the joy I need It's no ordinary world When you're here with me I take the time to smile I have the space to breathe It's no ordinary world When you walk with me I see inside my dreams Every diamond, every pearl It's no ordinary world With your hand in mine No reason to take our time Surrender to love like good religion Oh, it's no ordinary world It's no ordinary world When you're here with me I take the time to smile I have the space to breathe It's no ordinary world When you walk with me I see inside my dreams Every diamond, every pearl It's no ordinary world Oh, no, no ordinary world Oh, no, no ordinary world It's no ordinary world (No ordinary world) Girl, when you walk with me (No ordinary world) Give me the space to breathe (No ordinary world, you're the only one I need) 'Cause it's no ordinary world (You're the only one I need, no ordinary world...)

She lays on the wall Watching the strangers drift away Mid-day's aura thick With the sun of Arabia She surrenders her voices They gather on the wind Talking, chanting, breathing Into her body, yesterdays Awakened beside The scent of burned sugar on her skin Painting eyes thick With the color she brings in Always sure and strong When the lightning tumbles down Don't you frown Everything will be In time for this evening If there's secrets She has to be party to Every one of them If there's heaven She gets to the heart And you'll wonder Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Give me red instead Now let me run (now let me run) If there's secrets She has to be party to Every one of them If there's heaven She gets to the heart And you'll know Just why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Give me red instead Now let me run (let me run) Hey hey Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Give me red instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Give me red instead Now I can run to you Why she says When I run out of blue Help me rise instead Now I can run to you

The afternoon, it's one maybe two Sipping away my last goldstar, not so much to do Dream away the sunny day until it's time to leave I'll just watch you pass on by When I'm on my own in Tel Aviv With the blocks to one side The beach on the other And the trees and the leaves On my own in Tel Aviv And the trees and the leaves On my own in Tel Aviv
