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 else Just a common counter fan I'm 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]
