[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon]
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
(Gone away)

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
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

[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2: Simon Le Bon]
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
(Gone away)

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
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

[Interlude: Simon Le Bon]
Just blown away

[Bridge: Simon Le Bon]
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here beside the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
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
[Outro: Simon Le Bon]
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
