O Maria

[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
