Valerie June - Ordinary World Lyrics

Valerie June 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

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognise?

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
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here beside the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognise?

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
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

(Blown away)

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
Every world
Is my world
