There was no one
Nothing to see
The night is useless and so are we
Cos everybody knows
The fabric of folly is falling apart at the seams
And I've been looking 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
Cos everyone knows death creeps in slow
Till you feel safe in his arms
And I've been looking for a new friend
And I don't care if he's decrepit and grey
O Maria haven't you known
Days so careless
All on your own
Cos 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 was no one
Nothing to see
The night is useless and so are we
Cos everybody knows
The fabric of folly is falling apart at the seams
And I've been looking for a good time
But the pleasures are seldom and few
