Ordinary Life
Back then rent was cheap in the wrong parts of town
You could walk into almost any place and get a cash in hand job
I was a terrible waitress
And an even worse singer
But I didn't care, I just knew
Something bigger, brighter, better was on its way
Someone was gonna spot me walking down Stokes Croft and say
Hey kid, I’m gonna make you a star
And whisk me away into my glittering future
Twenty years later, I’m still waiting
But do you know what?
There's nothing wrong with an ordinary life
We had widescreen, high definition surround sound love affairs
And low budget B movie one night stands
Somehow it was always the end of the summer
And we dragged ourselves through the streets at dawn
To our days jobs and dole office appointments
Fueled on weapons grade hope and uncut dreams
And the days went by, and the days went by
And the days went by like strobe lights
There's nothing wrong with an ordinary life
One day you will find yourself at a friends 40th birthday party
Wondering how the days turned into decades and if anyone still does drugs
And you will dance, dance off the minutes and the moments
And magic and the misery and the miracles and monotony
As you unfurl into infinity among the solar systems and galaxies
A dopamine driven pinball machine studded with hair and nails and teeth
Hard wired with desire and fear and dreams hosted by the ghost of a memory
of a memory, of a memory, of a memory of a memory
There's nothing wrong with an ordinary life
