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-u.
What has happened to it all? "Crazy!", some'd say.
Where is the life that I recognize?
(Gone awa-ay...)
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!
< Guitar interlude >
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say:
"Pride will tear us both apa-art."
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, run away,
Left me in the vacuum of my hea-art.
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!
< Guitar interlude >
Uh-uh-uh-uh-, ah-ah-ah-aah-,
Yeah-he-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-, oh-oh-ou-
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed -
Fear today, forgot tomorrow!
Ooh-uh, here besides the news Of Holy War and Holy Need
Ours is just a little sorrowed ta-alk.
< Guitar main theme solo >
(Just gone 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!
(Everyo-o-o-one is my wo-o-o-orld!) I will learn to survive!
(Anyo-o-o-one is my wo-o-o-orld!) I will learn to survive!
(Anyo-o-o-o-o-o-one is my wo-o-o-orld!)
(Everyo-o-o-o-o-one is my wo-o-o-orld!)
(Everyo-o-one-....)
