Ordinary World 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?

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

I will learn to survive

What is happening to me?

Where is my (4)____________ when I (5)________ 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 (6)________ my way

I will learn to survive
...
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, (7)____________ tomorrow
(Oh...)
Besides the news of holy war and (8)________ 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 (9)__________ (I will learn to survive)
Any world...
...is my world (I (10)________ learn to survive)
Any world!...
(...is my world...)
