Ordinary Life Songtext
von David Mead

How did we ever end up here?
Stuck in my old hometown
Shuffling cards at the breakfast table
Watching the world go ′round
Well, baby, you look like a princess
Wrapped in my old bathrobe
Stuck on a page of a paperback
Still waiting to unfold

And it's true I′ve been waiting on
An angel in disguise
So could you save me from
An ordinary life?

Well, you can't be a kid in a candy store
Smacking your lips 'cause you still want more
I try to be good but I′m still so bored tonight
And I just don′t care for ordinary life


How do we get back to Kingston?
Paris and Tokyo Bay
I've got a card with a number on it
Itching to pay your way

And it′s true we can't quite afford
The sparkle in my eye
But could you trade it for
An ordinary life?

Well, you can′t be the chick I was cruising for
Shaking your hips on a big dance floor
You try to be good but you're still so bored tonight
′Cause you just don't care for ordinary life

Yeah, it's true I′ve been waiting on
An angel in disguise
So could you save me from
An ordinary life?

Well, you can′t be a kid in a candy store
Smacking your lips 'cause you still want more
I try to be good but I′m still so bored tonight
Yeah, I just don't care for ordinary life
No, I just don′t care for ordinary life

Well, how did we ever end up here?
