Extra Ordinary Songtext
von Mixtape for the Milky Way

Never went to school learned right at home
Dad gave me haircuts and hand-me-down clothes
Mom said I was destined bound for great things
They said I was special but what does that mean?

I just wanted to be extra ordinary
Be like the people on the TV
Fade into the background where I can′t be seen
I just want to be extra ordinary


We went to a church out kind of far
Pro-life bumper stickers all over the car
We wandered the wheat fields speaking in tongues
They said we were chosen sons and daughters of God

I dream of a suburb where I'd mow the lawn
Chat with the neighbors out walking their dogs
Smile for the papers hide in plain sight
Pretend to be normal have a wonderful life

I just wanted to be extra ordinary
Be like the people on the TV
Fade into the background where I can′t be seen
I just want to be extra ordinary
