ORDINARY WORLD

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softy,
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you.

What is happening 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 it all?
Crazy some say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away.

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
Feared today forgot tomorrow.
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.

Every world is my world

Any world is my world

Wild Boys

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
in august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
wild boys fallen far from glory
reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world

they tried to break us, looks like they'll try again

wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine

you got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
and your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
wild boys wonder where is glory
where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

they tried to tame you looks like they'll try again

wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine
