[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
