Carnival

Well, I've walked these streets
 A virtual stage, it seemed to me
 Makeup on their faces
 Actors took their places next to me
 ♪
 Well, I've walked these streets
 In a carnival of sights to see
 All the cheap thrill seekers
 The vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me
 Have I been blind, have I been lost inside
 Myself and my own mind?
 Hypnotized, mesmerized
 By what my eyes have seen?
 ♪
 Well, I've walked these streets
 In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
 In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet
 That they just rolled out for me
 And I've walked these streets
 In the madhouse asylum they can be
 Where a wild eyed misfit prophet on a traffic island stopped
 And he raved of saving me
 Have I been blind, have I been lost inside
 Myself and my own mind?
 Hypnotized, mesmerized
 By what my eyes have seen?
 ♪
 Have I been wrong, have I been wise
 To shut my eyes and play along
 Hypnotized, paralyzed
 By what my eyes have found
 By what my eyes have seen
 What they have seen
