Paul Anka lyrics : "Ordinary World"

[Originally 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


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, runaway
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


Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed

Feared today forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here beside the news
Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(Blown away)

(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


Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)


Every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
