[Verse 1]

There was no one, nothing to see

The night is useless and so are we

'Cause everybody knows the fabric of folly

Is falling apart at the seams

[Chorus 1]

And I've been looking for a good time

But the pleasures are seldom and few

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus 2]

And I've been looking for a new friend

And I don't care if he's decrepit and gray

[Verse 3]

O Maria haven't you known

Days so careless all on your own

'Cause everybody knows the circus is closed

And the animals have gone wild

[Chorus 3]

And I've been looking for my shadow

But this place is so bright and so clean

[Verse 1]

There was no one, nothing to see

The night is useless and so are we

'Cause everybody knows the fabric of folly

Is falling apart at the seams

[Chorus 1]

And I've been looking for a good time

But the pleasures are seldom and few
