~ O Maria ~

There is no one, nothing to see
The night is useless and so are we
Because 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 worrried mind
Cos everybody knows death creeps in slow
Till you feel safe in his arms

And I've been looking for a new friend
I don't care if he's decrepit and grey

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

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
Because 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
