Ordinary Love

[Verse 1]
I met her on the stairs and she showered me with her hellos
Next thing I knew I was stuck in her abstract quiz show
Her face is no longer all the suns in which I bask
I'm still fascinated by the mask behind the mask

[Verse 2]
Beautiful comedian throwing out her last punchline
Casting holy nets while slippery fish give the high sign
Her nervous conditioning makes love a lethal task
I'm still fascinated by the mask behind the mask

[Chorus]
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave

[Verse 3]
Come over, girlfriend, I'll explain myself to you
And please remind me I've got some stories to tell you
These caveman border guards were begging me to dance
We delivered a twist that broke the European trance

[Chorus]
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave

[Verse 4]
What did you think of love while your analyst made her speech?
Bleeding on the frontline or holding hands on the beach?
Which one has more power, which is further from our reach?
Which one is more noble, which the greatest lesson to teach?

[Verse 5]
Do you wonder why tonight I'm here instead of there?
I'm bleeding on the banister just half a way up your stairs
I counted all the faces in the Camden town hall parade
But counting contradictions won't make me feel any better today

[Chorus]
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
Is like the ordinary lie that I don't believe
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
The ordinary love that you want to leave
