Semisonic Ordinary Life song lyrics

Well I looked for the life fantastic,

'Cause I read it in a magazine,

What I got was myself as a plastic figurine.

And the happily ever after,

I traded everything to see,

Now my scene is the snow on a static TV screen.

Lord I can dream of an ordinary life,

Where nothing particularly weird is going down,

Lord I can dream of an ordinary time,

Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around.

Well now read me a bedtime story,

And be sure that it's nice and sweet,

'Cause I don't if I can take any more reality.

With a peacefully ever after,

For me and my little treat,

And I don't want nobody saying "We'll wait and see".

Lord I can dream of an ordinary life,

Where nothing particularly weird is going down,

Lord I can dream of an ordinary time,

Where nothing particularly hard is blowing us around,

Blowing us around.

Lord I can dream of an ordinary life,

Where nothing particularly weird is going down,

Lord I can dream of an ordinary time,

Where nothing particularly hard is spinning us around,

Spinning us around.
