As  a boy I would run to  my school,
Cutting  through fields  of clover.
Then  they were gone: clean,  good, and nice.
  Covered  by roads  where cars  now drive.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
The  more that I learn,  the less  that I know.
Never  thought I would want  to slow  down.
Just  focus on clouds  in blue  skies,
Above  all the rain,  the sun  shines.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
It's  just an ordinary  day.
 A circus full  of clowns.
It's  just an ordinary  day.
 A circus full  of clowns.
It's  just an ordinary  day.
 A circus full  of clowns.
It's  just an ordinary  day.
 A circus full  of clowns.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
It's  just an ordinary day.
I'm  much to strange for this ordinary world.
