Lyrics
VERSE 1

Cast away all the enemies of yesterday

To alleviate all the memories that come our way

There's a better life now you know that I am on your side

Your beady eyes burn a hole right through the back of mine

I am out of time

CHORUS

I'm an Ordinary Man

Like everybody is

Just a common counter fan

I'm an Ordinary Man

VERSE 2

Hesitate while the world is just a step away

To recreate all the innocence that time can take

I am wide awake

CHORUS

I'm an Ordinary Man

Like everybody is

Just a common counter fan

I'm an Ordinary Man

I'm an Ordinary Man

Like everybody is

Just a common counter fan

I'm an Ordinary Man

I'm an Ordinary Man
