Cast away all the enemies of yesterday
To alleviate all the memories that come our way
Theres 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:]
Im an ordinary man
Like everybody else
Just a common counterfeit
Im an ordinary man
Hesitate while the world is just a step away
To recreate all the innocence that time can take
I am wide awake
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
To alleviate all the memories that come our way
Theres 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:]
Im an ordinary man
Like everybody else
Just a common counterfeit
Im an ordinary man
Hesitate while the world is just a step away
To recreate all the innocence that time can take
I am wide awake
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
