there is no one; nothing to see
the night is useless and so are we
cause everybody knows the fabric of folly
is fallin apart at the seams
and I've been lookin for a good time
but the pleasures are seldom and few
there's no whiskey; there's no wine
just the concrete and a worried mind
cause everybody knows death creeps in slow
til you feel safe in his arms...
and I've been lookin for a new friend
and I don't care if he's decrepit and gray
la la la la la...
o maria, haven't you known
been so careless all on your own
cause everybody knows the circus is closed
and the animals have gone wild
and I've been looking for my shadow
but this place is so bright and so clean
there is no one; nothing to see
the night is useless and so are we
cause everybody knows the fabric of folly
is fallin apart at the seams
and I've been lookin for a good time
but the pleasures are seldom and few
la la la la la laaaa
